2017 :Nota Bene Syrah – StoneTree Vineyard : Wahluke Slope

This Syrah is sourced from StoneTree Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope near Mattawa at the end of O Road. This vineyard-designated wine has become a staple for us, again with a touch of Viognier from Zillah. This warm location produced a full-bodied Syrah that is deep and rich with a traditional style. Dark fruits are forward with savory spices, roasted nuts, and earthiness with a dark chocolate finish. Moderate acid levels let this wine please you on its own or with your favorite umami-dominant foods, grilled or roasted. Special thanks to Tedd Wildman for growing this wonderful Syrah.
