 Wine & Spirits magazine recently described Yakima Syrah as: "...easily in a league with those from the northern Rhône and southern Australia...bold, rich and lively, seductively perfumed and heroically structured with a kiss of elegance". Expect an aromatic rush of red and black fruit; hints of chocolate, coffee and licorice followed by the spiciness of black pepper in the Rattlesnake Valley Syrah. Our 2-stage oaking keeps the fruit in check and adds great structure. The deep-purple hued wine shows well after a minimum of 3 months but definitely benefits from extended aging. 1 or 2 years in the cellar will allow the wine to grow to its full, unbelievable potential. |
