Syrah Columbia Valley 2017 Red Wine

Elaboration

Syrah Columbia Valley 2017 is crafted by Chateau Ste. Michelle — one of Washington State's most historic and respected wineries — from Syrah grapes carefully sourced from the Wahluke Slope vineyards, an exceptional growing area within the Columbia Valley where warm, sun drenched days and cool nights create ideal conditions for Rhône varieties of remarkable concentration and natural spice character. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness before the wine ages for 18 months in oak barrels at Chateau Ste. Michelle's dedicated red wine facility at Canoe Ridge Estate in Eastern Washington — a state of the art environment where Syrah of this quality receives the time and attention it deserves. The result is a wine of velvety texture, smooth richness and genuine Columbia Valley character.
