Nose
Fresh blueberries, black fruits, boysenberry, dark chocolate, cedar.
Palate
Fullbodied fruit with concentrated flavors and vibrant acidity. A wine that is lighter on the palate with vibrant fruit and soft tannins. Intense dark chocolate, deep black raspberry, black cherry cola, mocha, black pepper, well-balanced fruit and spice, long intense finish.
Growing Conditions
Because the Willamette Valley’s growing season and weather isn’t always favorable for the production of a consistently high-quality Syrah, we chose to source from the Walla Walla Valley AVA, but on the Oregon side—in keeping with our desire to produce 100% Oregon wines. Both temperatures and rainfall at this site are very consistent, with annual growing degree days for the site averaging between 3,000-3,300, and annual precipitation averaging 6-8 inches.
