Tasting Notes

“ Hints of warm boysenberry fruit and roasted espresso grace this soft Syrah. Plush on the palate, this wine is fleshy, viscous and mouth-filling. A tribute to the Wahluke Slope style of fruit–forward and jammy. If there were one Chateau Ste. Michelle Syrah to call a ‘Shiraz’…..this would be it!”
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker

The Vineyards
  • 89% of the Syrah was sourced from the Wahluke Slope, a warm region known for ripe, jammy reds.
  • Our most northern growing area, the Wahluke Slope is bordered on both the west and the south by the Columbia River. The region’s warm days cause the grapes to assert sweet citrus and tropical characteristics, while the cool nights promote good structure, balance and flavor intensity.
  • 11% of the fruit came from our Columbia Valley Vineyards.
