NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Syrah opens with bold aromas of blackberry, plum, and blackcurrent, with hints of smoked meat and violet.The palate is rich and layered, offering dark fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and velvety tannins, culminating in a long, spice-infused finish. As it evolves, it reveals savory undertones of leather and herbs, showcasing its complexity. Perfectly paired with grilled lamb chops, barbecue ribs, or a hearty wild mushroom risotto, this wine also complements aged Gouda or a charcuterie board. Decant before serving to unlock its full aromatic and textural potential.

ORIGINS

Winery: Rasa Vineyards

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
