WASHINGTON

A note from the winemaker: Where do I begin? Aromas of wildflowers, bark, sarsaparilla, pottery studio, cherry compote, undergrowth, forest floor. On the palate, it oozes with flair running the gamut from tree fruits, plums, cherries to an array of herbs and spices. Long and silky, ethereal. A dream. 100% Syrah | 100% whole cluster fermentation | native yeast | 47 days on skins | 54% new French puncheons | 28 mo. barrel-aged on lees

Food Pairings: Braised short ribs, BBQ tacos, or nachos.
