This wine is a gorgeous gem from the team at Betz Family Winery, where they have been sourcing grapes used in this Syrah from Boushey Vineyards for 13 vintages. The high altitude Yakima Valley vineyard site benefits from cooler desert temperatures which contribute to the purity and concentration of fruit flavors showcased in this outstanding wine.
Nose: Restrained black fruit, earthen spice and a gentle whiff of smoke.
Taste: Polished, built with finesse and satiny in texture. Silky tannins glide effortlessly along a seamless profile of rich dark plum, black cherry, fennel and cassis with juicy black currants ramping up on the focused finish.
Food Pairing: Lamb chops with truffle-infused mashed potatoes and blanched asparagus, or pepper encrusted wild King salmon over arugula.
