K Vintners The Deal Syrah is a premium wine produced by Charles Smith in the Columbia Valley appellation of Washington State. The vineyard features a unique combination of sandy loam and cobblestone soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and fermentation with native yeasts, followed by aging in French oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is full-bodied and complex, with aromas of blackberry, smoked meat, and black pepper. On the palate, it offers flavors of dark fruit, espresso, and a hint of vanilla, with a long, smooth finish. This wine is a great choice for those who appreciate bold, flavorful Syrahs with a touch of elegance.
