Description:
At Amavi Cellars, we have chosen to focus on Syrah wines which showcase the extraordinary quality and the unique, concentrated, fruit flavors of Pepper Bridge Vineyard and Seven Hills Vineyard, our Walla Walla Valley estate vineyards. Over the years, these estate vineyards have consistently produced grapes used by other Washington winemakers to produce Syrah wines of exceptional complexity, balance and concentration. Amavi Cellars’ 2003 Syrah is packed with violets, blueberry and dark plum aromas, backed up by subtle flavors of smoked meats with hints of black earth, spices, coffee and mineral. The wine has fine-grained tannins and well-embedded acidity, which work together to create a tremendously long finish and a real depth and distinction. The summer of 2003 was consistently warm from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The grapes ripened evenly, showing an incredible balance of fruit and acid. The grapes were carefully hand-harvested, sorted and individually fermented in small stainless steel tanks. The wine aged 17 months in 64% French oak, 22% Hungarian oak and 14% American oak.
