Syrah / Shiraz
WA - Columbia Valley
Coming from the Columbia Valley in Washington, the 2021 Syrah Flagship pours a deep purple-black hue and offers ripe aromas of blackberry preserve, kalamata olive, and crushed violets. Full-bodied, with ripe tannins and a clean lift, it’s flush with ripe fruit and a mineral-toned finish of wet stone. Its structure builds as the fruit dissipates, and it will do well to drink over the next 4-5 years.
