Description:
Again, a perfect vintage for Washington State Syrah. We achieved great ripeness
with a massive fruit component. The aromas of our 2003 are intense and very
ripe with hints of toasted French oak. Rich scents of dark fruits, blackberries and
violets are dominant. The flavors are big, rich and almost sweet on the palate
following through with the dark fruit theme. The wine is soft in its tannins but
balanced with good acidity.

Varietal Definition
Syrah:
Syrah is the eight hundred pound gorilla of Rhone grapes! In the vineyard and the winery, Syrah is typically an easy grape to work with - healthy, early ripening, resistant to mildew and rot; suitable for winemaking in a variety of styles. The wines from Syrah are tannic without being harsh. The wines will have a taste and smell of dark blue fruit like blackberries and blackcurrant, with a strong spicy side where one can find freshly ground pepper and other spices. Syrah is famous for its part in the French blends, such as Côtes du Rhone and Châteauneuf du Pape.
