Minick Vineyard Syrah

Minick Vineyard Syrah Wine Details
Price:

Description: Dave Minick and his Syrah vineyard have, once again, produced fruit of excellent caliber. The site is located eleven miles north – northwest of the Yakima Valley appellation town of Prosser. The vineyard sits a 1,100 feet above sea level sloping south – southwest. The soils are a generous 3 – 4 feet of a sandy loam with a bit of fractured calcareous basalt located below the top soil. The Wine: An inviting purple – red color greets one as you pour our 2001 Minick Syrah into your wine glass. The aromas and flavors are of ripe purple plums, blackberries a touch of barrel toast-graham and slight clove and “smoky” notes. The structure is medium + to full bodied. The finish is long and satisfying. A great match with BBQ!
