2015 Syrah “Bridge”

Varietal: 100% Syrah

Oak: Hungarian/French Oak for 36 months

Alcohol: 15.5%

Aromas of cedar, blackberry, cassis. Full-bodied with dark fruit flavors, with a punch of flavor that tapers off to a spicy peppery note in the finish. With its massive full-bodied taste, Syrah pairs great with bold foods. You can pair Syrah with anything from a blue cheese burger to barbecue; the trick is to bring out the subtle nuances in the wine.

On the Label: Imagine yourself standing on the bridge at the Multnomah Falls, in Columbia River Gorge, Oregon. Our contest winner YVONNE SMITH of Atascadero, CA certainly captured the essence of being in a good niche.
