WINE DESCRIPTION

Airfield Estates Syrah is a premium wine produced by Airfield Estates, a family-owned winery located in the Yakima Valley appellation of Washington State. The vineyard features a unique terroir with sandy loam soils and a warm, dry climate that allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, gentle crushing, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's rich, full-bodied character. The resulting wine is a bold and flavorful Syrah with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a well-crafted wine with a distinct sense of place.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Airfield Estates Syrah is a powerful, full-bodied red wine with a deep ruby color.Dark fruit aromas of blackberries, plums and cherries are complemented by hints of pepper, leather, and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is well-structured with robust tannins and a long, velvety finish. It has a good balance between the ripe fruit flavors and the oak influence. Enjoy this wine with hearty dishes such as steak or lamb.
