Plush plum, racy raspberry and blackberry fruit is showcased in this stunning Syrah. Discreet, spicy wood notes add complexity and intrigue. Solid acidity enlivens the lengthy finish. As a young, fruit-focused wine, it is an excellent match for barbecued ribs and other grilled foods. Pumpovers two times daily; peak fermentation temperature of 85 degrees; aged in old and new European oak barrels. Vineyard: Desert Aire Vineyard (Wahluke Slope)
