2021 Firebird
Summit View Vineyard ∞ Walla Walla Valley AVA Syrah
93 cases produced. $54
Named for Igor Stravinsky’s “Firebird Suite,” these grapes are sourced exclusively from Summit View Vineyard, one of the highest elevation sites in Milton-Freewater, Oregon – at 1,150 feet. Its deep, well-drained glacial soil produces full-bodied fruit with intense flavors and vibrant acidity. Aged 12 months in French oak, this gentle, lower tannin Syrah is for Pinot lovers.
TECHNICAL NOTESNOSE: Blueberry, coriander, oak moss.
PALATE: Smooth, elegant, well-balanced with crisp acid and fine-grained tannins. Hints of blueberry, coriander, and Stetson.
Cori Solomon, The Written Palette: Like the Cabernet, Dave utilizes a technique that gives the wine a lighter quality with bright blueberry fruit, soft tannins, and a silky texture.
