2	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... ...read more 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.

4	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, Cuv�e Orleans is focused on elegance, complexity and finesse. The addition of some Viognier to the Syrah fermenters, in the tradition of wines from C�te R�tie, 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... ...read more Learn More 163 cases produced Question?

5	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 ... ...read more Learn More Question?
