This wine showcases a vibrant ruby red color. The aromas are immediately engaging with an abundance of red fruit. Notes of cherry, raspberry, and red currant lead the way. As the wine opens there are underlying tones of spice, including cinnamon and clove, as well as a faint hint of earthiness.

One of our favorite wines to blend, this GSM exhibits a vibrant ruby hue with glimmers of garnet at the edges. The aromatics are enticing, offering a bouquet of both savory and ripe red fruits, including cherry, spiced red plum and strawberry. Subtle hints of black tea, dried herbs and black pepper add complexity and intrigue. On the palate, this wine showcases a harmonious fusion of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, that is both fruit-driven and savory. Juicy red berry flavors dance alongside nuances of plum and hints of the forest after a rain. Silky tannins provide structure, while well-integrated acidity lends freshness and balance to the ensemble. The finish is lingering and satisfying, with echoes of red fruit lingering on the palate, accompanied by a touch of earthiness that leaves a memorable impression. Pairs well with anything off the grill, cassoulet, braised lamb shanks, or a mushroom and swiss smash burger. Enjoy! Drink 2024-2039.

Lewis Vineyard consistently provides deeply colored, concentrated wines due to the viticultural practice of maximum light exposure to the clusters. A cooler site, the vineyard sits at an elevation of 1200 feet in the Yakima Valley near Prosser, Washington. The first Syrah vines for this vineyard were planted in 1996. Always inky, dark purple in color, with exotic aromas and flavors of wild black raspberry, cherry cola, boysenberry, cocoa nibs, incense, and dark spice. This wine is bottled aged for two years resulting in a rich, wonderfully complex wine with a smooth finish.
