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...

Acclaim: 92 pts – Wine Enthusiast "Blended with Mourvedre, this Syrah offers an enticing nose of raspberry, huckleberry and wild currant with scents of incense, lavender and violets. 19/20 pts." – Rand Sealey, Review of Wa. Wines

McCrea Cellars
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...

McCrea Cellars
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 ...

Chatter Creek Winery
2006 Lonesome Spring Ranch Syrah
Appellation: Yakima Valley
Chatter Creek Winery
(Woodinville, WA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Gordon Rawson
Syrah 100%. Nine year old vines provide fruit that is more highly concentrated and deeper than previous vintages. The resulting wine shows this with its rich purple color and aromas of blackberry, sage, plum and pan drippings that waft from the glass. A racy acidity helps propel flavors in this richly extracted, well-balanced classic Syrah. Firm tannins hold the experience in balance without being austere and a long finish hangs on until giving way to a silky hint of toasted nuts.

Blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier, Merlot
Kestrel Vintners
(Prosser, WA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Flint Nelson
The wine is a blend of mostly Syrah, but there are a few other varieties blended in to coax out every nuance possible. As always, the color is inky purple. In the aroma and on the palate you will find an abundance of ripe fruit flavors such as black currant, dark cherry, blackberry, leather, spice, white pepper, and an enchanting floral element. Thisis a full bodied wine with a lingering finish. The structure is balanced and complex.

This wine represents only the finest barrels of Co-Ferment Syrah that we made in 2005. The color is inky purple. In the aroma you will find the distinct contribution from the Viognier’s floral element in hints of violet, lavender, and clove. Under the floral perfume, dark ripe fruits such as blackberry, black cherries, cassis, and plum are perfectly balanced by toasted oak and mocha. This is a deep, full bodied wine with a lingering finish. It can stand up to the heartiest of fare, or simply be ...

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Flint Nelson
The color is a deep garnet. The nose greets you with aromas of blackberry, plum, strawberry jam, licorice, dried figs, and dates. The brandy preserves the natural sweetness of the grapes. At this point the two are perfectly integrated, there are no power struggles, the wine is balanced. The result is a fortified gem with loads of fruit and a long powerful finish.
