Overview:
The Columbia Crest 2018 Grand Estates Syrah captures the essence of Washington’s Columbia Valley, offering a harmonious blend of dark fruit, spice, and smoky elegance. This Syrah, aged for 14 months in a combination of French and American oak, reflects the region's premier vineyard sites like Wahluke Slope and Horse Heaven Hills. Crafted with precision, including a co-fermentation with Viognier for added aromatic depth, this wine is an excellent companion to grilled meats, salmon, or soft cheeses.
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of black cherry and baking spices like nutmeg and clove immediately engage the senses, with subtle smoky tones and hints of black tea. On the palate, savoury notes of cedar and dried herbs are intertwined with rich flavours of currant and ripe red fruits. The medium-to-full body is supported by silky tannins, leading to a refined, savoury finish. This Syrah is an elegant and versatile choice for pairing with a variety of dishes or enjoying on its own.
