2017 Syrah ASV

18 glass / 64 bottle / 52 club

Exclusive wines from our Ancient Stones Estate Vineyard in The Rocks District of Walla Walla. This tiny AVA is situated on the ancient Walla Walla River bed. Softball-sized cobbles extend more than 300 feet into the earth, requiring vines to reach deep into the terroir in search of water. Deep rooting combined with radiant heat from the rocks during ripening make these wines bold and structured on the palette.

Wine Profile

Tasting Notes
Subtly savory, aromas of boysenberries and black olive are met with smoked wild herbs on the palate.

Food Pairing Notes
The lightness of this Syrah makes it a versatile wine to pair with food. We love this wine with braised beef, aged gouda, or even dark chocolate! We pair this in our tasting room with homemade dark chocolate with rosemary and candied ginger, try it on your next visit!
