2021 Syrah - Prima Donna
Syrah amped up on 11% Viognier cofermentation. Is she a drama queen? Perhaps. But oh, what delicious drama.
Gold, Cascadia Wine Competition
Tasting notes
Prima Donna approaches carrying a tray of caramelized treats, including toffee and s’mores. But then as you continue chatting, you notice she’s also very vivacious and colorful, with bright cherries and plums roasted with baking spices. Not your usual restrained Syrah, she’s full of excitement.
Smooth/medium-bodied, medium-plus acid, medium tannins. Brighter, redder fruit than a typical Syrah. Toasty notes from oak.
