Tasting Notes: Unbelievably inky in color, this She-Devil Syrah is pure temptation in the glass. The nose starts off with crushed violets, dark fruit, cedar box spice and candied citrus flower. The smooth palate shows dark fruits, vanilla and cedar box spice. Nicely balanced
and complex. The long finish is dark chocolate and berries riding on silky tannins.

Winemaking Notes: Saignee and gently crushing combined with extended maceration both pre and post were carried out to concentrate mid palate and lengthen the finish. Temperature controlled fermentation never allowing too much heat makes sure that varietal expression and the sense of terroir remains intact. As always very tight grained hand selected barrels were used for the aging process for slow release of tannin and very fine integration of the oak components. We always strive to showcase the true potential of Washington Syrah and then take it to another level. This wine is again a perfect example of just that.
