Château Ste. Michelle Syrah – Columbia Valley – Red – 2020:

 

Introducing the Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Syrah, a magnificent red wine that showcases why Washington State is a world-leader in New World Syrah. Blending the varietal’s signature spice with the region’s intense fruit profile, this wine offers superb structure and complexity, perfect for the discerning UK palate.

The Sommelier’s View: Richness & Spice

Hailing from the vast and diverse Columbia Valley AVA, this Syrah benefits from the ‘rain shadow’ of the Cascade Mountains, resulting in concentrated, pure fruit flavours while cool nights preserve vital acidity.

• Colour: Deep, vibrant ruby.
• Nose: Profound aromas of dark cherry, black plum, and blueberry, complemented by savoury notes of black pepper, clove, and subtle smoky oak.
• Palate: Full and well-structured, featuring smooth, velvety tannins. Expect a burst of rich black fruit followed by a long, spicy finish with hints of vanilla and espresso.

Enjoyment & Culinary Match

A wine of this calibre demands a suitable culinary partner. Decanting for 30 minutes is recommended. Serve at 16-18°C.

• Recommended Food Pairings: Traditional Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding, a hearty Game Pie, or a selection of mature English Cheddar.

Secure a bottle of this exceptional Washington State Syrah-a perfect centrepiece for your Sunday lunch or a sophisticated evening gathering.
