McCrea Cellars
2008 Amerique Syrah
Appellation: Yakima Valley
McCrea Cellars
(Rainier, WA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Doug McCrea
The vintage of 2008 will be remembered for its unusually cool summer and fall temperatures, but ultimately, for very classy wines. An exceptionally long, cool and rainy spring delayed bud break for at least two weeks. Once into July, a very cool summer presaged a late year, with slower and somewhat delayed veraison. As harvest approached, ripeness and overall flavor development lagged. Sugars barely reached 24° Brix – uncommonly low. Picking was late and somewhat compressed in time; finding spac...

2008 Boushey Vineyard Syrah
Appellation: Yakima Valley
McCrea Cellars
(Rainier, WA)

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Doug McCrea
Aromas of earthiness, leather, cedar, and mushrooms with high-tones of violets, cassis and blueberry, followed by dense flavors of cherry, plum, licorice, smoked meats, pencil lead, toasted nuts and truffle. Finishes with great acidity – an assurance of its excellent cellaring potential. We expect this wine to drink well for ten to twenty years.

McCrea Cellars
2008 Cuvee Orleans
Appellation: Yakima Valley
Syrah
McCrea Cellars
(Rainier, WA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Doug McCrea
Of our five different Syrahs, Cuvée Orleans is focused on elegance, complexity and finesse. The addition of some Viognier to the Syrah fermenters, in the tradition of wines from Côte Rôtie, produces four distinct and often dramatic outcomes: during co-fermentation the white grape enzymes extract even more color (somewhat counterintuitive); the Viognier adds floral aromatics; the acidity is increased, which adds finish on the palate and longevity in the cellar; and most significantly the white wi...

2009 Syrah
Appellation: Yakima Valley
McCrea Cellars
(Rainier, WA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Doug McCrea
Our 2009 Yakima Valley Syrah is a blend of grapes from three outstanding Yakima Valley vineyards. After de-stemming and gentle crushing (just enough to pop the berries) it was fermented in small batches of 3⁄4 to 1-3⁄4 tons each. We use open top fermenters with a manual punch down of the cap twice or three times per day during active fermentation. When dry the wine was dejuiced, rather than pressed, and transferred to barrel. It was aged thirty-two months in 2- to 6-year old ...

The wine is dark-ruby in color with purple hues. Bright aromas of blackberries and blueberries with hints of violets persist. Medium in body, the wine is very fruit forward with youthful acidity and flavors that are multi-layered and predominately berry and dark plum. Tannins are ripe with medium density that contributes to fine structure. The finish is long and lingering. Time in bottle will increase suppleness and overall roundness.

Winemaker: Jarrod Boyle
The 2003 Syrah passionately expresses the terroir of our Destiny Ridge Estate Vineyard. Sourced from four distinct vineyard blocks and barrel aged for 18 months in both French and American Oak this estate syrah has an expressive bouquet of raspberries and dark fruit that is complemented with its bold perfume spice, hints of wet stone minerals, violets, earthy leather, smoked meats, vanilla, and refreshing mocha. Its initial lush fruit leads to a solid framework and richness to finish.

This big, daring wine was crafted using the historic French method of Co-fermenting using 7% whole cluster, whole stem Rousanne grapes (white Rhone) followed by blending 4% of aromatic white Viognier to this bold red, Sara-Lee clone of Syrah. The co-fermenting resulted in an enchantingly aromatic, balanced, yet bold wine. The lots were cold-soaked from 1 to 3 days. The wine was fermented in small 1 ton lots in open top fermentors and punched down by hand two to three times per day. Extended m...

This is a brilliant; frosted-red wine with a transparency that almost shimmers in the glass. Tart cranberry and ripe, red-berry fruit with pretty aromas, accented with subtle notes of raspberry and spice, gain intensity with swirling. Intensely sweet, unctuous in texture; nice acidity builds structure in a very long finish. Luscious fruit sugars and fresh acid balance make a lovely wine-as-dessert experience or after dinner sipper. Alc: 12.5%; TA .52; pH 3.62; Residual Sugar 15%; Cases produced ...
