Abeja, USA, Washington, Walla Walla Valley, Mill Creek Vineyard(2005)
SYRAH
WALLA WALLA VALLEY
One hundred percent estate grown
Cases Produced: 200-300
Vintages: 2003, 2004, 2005 (2007 release)
The fruit for this wine is grown at an elevation of 1310 feet on the grounds of the Winery. The higher elevation and the proximity to the Blue Mountains, gives this vineyard a longer, cooler ripening season than most other areas of the Walla Walla Appellation. The cooler site results in a style much like that of a classic Northern Rhone with complexity and balance without the concentration and higher alcohol levels of Syrah produced in warmer areas.

- So tasty! I had this wine this past Labor Day weekend, 2007, paired with seared scallops at 26 Brix in Walla Walla, Abeja's home town. Talk about a long taste curve, this thing lives on. Great flavors, delicious dark cherries, not too strong, not too big, not too sweet.
