2022 Signature Syrah

The 2022 Signature Syrah is a seductive wine, leading with notes of dark fruits complemented by herbal accents. On the nose, distinct notes of charcuterie, black tea leaf, wild blueberry, and dried lavender form an intoxicating bouquet of aromas. Each sip brings flavors of black plum, red hibiscus, and bacon fat alongside a notable element of spice. The velvety texture frames the juicy, earthy palate, ending with a long, peppery finish that does not disappoint. Enjoy this wine in its youth or cellar 12+ years.

Pairing Suggestion

Lamb Sliders — Pair Syrah with grilled meats, vegetables, wild game, stews and chilis. Marbled cuts of beef (Grilled New York or Ribeye Steak) stand up to the flavors of Syrah.

Behind the Wine

2022 Signature Syrah

Nowhere on earth does the venerable Syrah grapevine feel more at home than in the arid and sun-drenched Yakima Valley of Washington State. Both the sandy loam soils and cool nights contribute to craft­ing a wine with incredible generosity of flavors and spices, qualities that elevate Syrah into an unparalleled category. We choose to co-ferment Syrah (98%) with Viognier (2%), adding another dimension of citrus and floral spices to the bouquet. Given the full character of this wine, the French oak barrels take a modest role in the background of our Signature Syrah.
