WINE DESCRIPTION

B. Leighton Syrah from Olsen Brothers Vineyard is a premium wine produced by the renowned winemaker, Brennon Leighton. The grapes are sourced from the Olsen Brothers Vineyard, located in Yakima Valley, Washington. The vineyard is known for its unique terroir, with sandy soils and a cool climate that allows for slow ripening of the grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in small batches and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant Syrah, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. It has a full-bodied and velvety texture, with a long and satisfying finish.
