WINE DESCRIPTION

Syncline Subduction Red is a premium red wine produced by Syncline Wine Cellars, a renowned winery located in the Columbia Gorge AVA of Washington State. This wine is made from a blend of carefully selected grapes grown in the estate vineyards, which are characterized by their unique geological features resulting from the subduction of tectonic plates. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques such as hand-harvesting, native yeast fermentation, and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of dark fruit flavors, with notes of spice and earthiness. Syncline Subduction Red is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts looking for a high-quality, terroir-driven wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Columbia Gorge AVA.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Syncline Subduction Red is a medium-bodied blend of five different grape varieties.On the nose, you'll find aromas of dark fruits such as blackberry and black currant, as well as hints of smokiness and baking spices. On the palate, you'll get a palate-pleasing mix of dark fruit flavors, dried herbs, and a lingering finish of espresso. The tannins are well-integrated, leading to a smooth and balanced finish. This is a great wine to pair with heartier dishes like steak and roasted vegetables.
