WINE DESCRIPTION
Nefarious Cellars, nestled on the south shore of Lake Chelan, is renowned for crafting award-winning red and white wines. Their Defiance Vineyard Estate Syrah is a great example of Washington State's Syrah. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Defiance Vineyard, which is known for its high elevation and unique soil composition. After careful selection of the grapes, the wine is fermentating and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a bold and complex Syrah with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a full-bodied and flavorful wine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
A full-bodied Syrah that offers a wealth of dark fruits and savoury spice.On the nose, bold aromas of ripe blackberry, herbs, crushed flowers, peppery spice. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced and smooth, with layers of ripe berry fruit and a hint of sweet earthiness. The tannins are soft and the finish is long and pleasing.
