Winemaker’s Notes: Our 2021 Syrah is sourced from Washington’s Rocks District, a unique growing region that Wine Spectator has called “The most distinctive AVA in the United States….making some of the greatest wines in America.” While it may be small (under 6 square miles), the Rocks District makes up for its lack of size in its incredibly unique expression of Syrah, which grows in an ancient unique alluvial fan that formed at the base of the Blue Mountains and is rich in Freewater soils and large basalt rocks, yielding to stunningly balanced, elegant vine fruit.
PAIRINGS: This Syrah is a perfect partner for lamb, grilled meats and gourmet burgers. The velvety texture and complex profile of this Syrah make it a splendid choice for hearty stews. Whether it’s a classic beef stew or a rustic ratatouille, the wine’s depth of flavor complements these dishes perfectly.
