2018 Firebird – SOLD OUT
Summit View Vineyard ∞ Walla Walla Valley AVA Syrah
111 cases produced. $48 | SOLD OUT
Named for Igor Stravinsky’s “Firebird Suite,” these grapes were sourced exclusively from Summit View, one of the highest elevation vineyards in Milton-Freewater, Oregon—at 1,150 feet. This site’s Ellisforde silt loam is a deep, well-drained glacial soil that produces full-bodied fruit with concentrated flavors and vibrant acidity. Aged 12 months in French oak.
TECHNICAL NOTESREVIEW: Beautifully expressive on the nose, here is a deep and delicious Syrah. From Ellisforde silt loam soils, it is well-structured with firm yet approachable tannins. Plum, Bing cherry and spice join accents of cured meats, and the flavors linger through the rich and pronounced finish. (Source: Ellen Landis, Great Northwest Wine)
