WINE DESCRIPTION
Ambassador Vineyard Syrah is a red wine produced by Ambassador Vineyard, a winery located in the Red Mountain AVA of Washington State. The vineyard is situated on a steep slope, which provides excellent drainage and optimal sun exposure for the grapes, which ripen fully in the dry, sunny climate. The winemaking process involves a cold, pre-fermentation maceration, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Syrah with rich flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, and hints of mocha. The wine has a smooth and velvety texture, with a long and satisfying finish. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the bold plushness of Washington State Syrah.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Ambassador Vineyard Syrah is an exceptional expression of the classic varietal.On the nose, it displays aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with chewy tannins balanced by lean acidity. The finish is long and lingering, with mocha complexity. Serve with slow-cooked dishes and smoked hard cheeses.
