Grand Estates vineyard is located in Columbia Valley , one of USA's largest wine making regions in the south-eastern corner of Washington. The fruit for this Syrah is from a combination of vines on the Wahluke slope and the Horse Heaven Hills. Here there are hot summer days, warm evenings and gravel/silty loam soils. 

The wine was aged for about 14 months in 87% older and 13% new oak barrels, both French and American. A beautiful broody maroon colour. Aromas of dark fruits, currants and smoked meat. On the palate supple plum, cranberry and cedar.A smooth wine which has a lovely balance between fruit and savoury flavours.
