Grape Profile: Syrah typically features rich fruit flavors such as blackberry, plum, and blueberry. It often carries secondary notes of spices, black pepper, and sometimes smoked meat or olive-like savory elements. The use of oak in aging can introduce flavors of vanilla, toast, and coffee.
Region Profile: Red Mountain is Washington State’s smallest but most prestigious AVA, known for producing some of the boldest, most structured red wines in the Pacific Northwest. Located in the southeastern corner of the Yakima Valley within the larger Columbia Valley, this arid, southwest-facing slope gets abundant sunshine and strong diurnal shifts, which help grapes ripen fully while retaining acidity.
Pair with: Steak. Grilled and roasted meats. Hearty vegetables like mushrooms, squash, and carrots. Stews, rich sauces and demi-glazes. Hard, aged cheeses like Gouda and Cheddar.
