Estate Syrah
You must remind yourself to stop pouring as a deep, hypnotic purple-black fills the glass. Even then, you remain somewhat transfixed as aromatherapy permeates your being. Vibrant, rich and intoxicating notes of ripe brambly fruits and crushed black currants are supported by alluring spices, soft oak and a touch of herb. Undertones of wet stone-mineral-earthiness confirms structural integrity. Well-balanced acids on entry give way to a ‘fruit bomb’ of ripe blackberry and cassis with a note of black sweet cherry and hint of black licorice and vanilla. Firm tannins to finish reveal that, while still in its youth, this wine has a bright future. Showcasing grapes grown in the Chelan A.V.A., this Syrah not only stands among the best in the Chelan Valley, but is further evidence of why Pacific Northwest wines are among the world’s best.
A wonderful pairing with richly-seasoned beef and grilled vegetables. Stands up nicely to BBQ ribs and, interestingly, pairs well with Caesar salad. Also, intuitively matches well with various smoked goudas.
