This Single Barrel wine is 100% Syrah from the acclaimed Boushey Vineyard near Grandview in the Yakima Valley. Enticing and characteristic aromas of olive brine, bacon fat, blackberry, almond, vanilla, dark roast coffee and sage flow into appealing tastes of black currant, blackberry, plum sauce, espresso beans, tanned leather, and Earl Gray tea. The finish is complex with ample refined tannins. Pair with asiago, grilled lamb, gyros, or barbecued pork. Aged for 17 months in a new Dargaud & Jaegle French oak puncheon.

Notes

Our grapes were hand sorted and mechanically destemmed into a small bin for a two day cold soak to bring out flavors and color. Yeast and nutrients were added to start an 10 day active fermentation followed by a 12 day extended maceration on the skins. The “free run” wine was pumped into barrels and the remaining skins were gently pressed to extract remaining wine into the barrels. The wine then went through a malolactic fermentation which softens the wine.
