Syrah 2008

This product is not currently available.

We sipped this Syrah over the course of a ten-course Thanksgiving meal, which we shared with the winemaker Eric Dunham and his sometime collaborator, actor Kyle MacLachlan. Dunham takes Syrah to the northern latitudes of Columbia Valley, where the varietal reveals its restraint, rather than its power. It also happens to be the wine Kyle served at his wedding, pairing it with rack of lamb glazed with cherries.

Varietals: 100% Syrah
Nose: Layers of mulberry, anise, and Asian spices
Palate: Lush cherries, graham crackers, and a tang of red licorice
Alcohol: 14.1%
Appellation: Columbia Valley

Dunham Cellars Walla Walla, WA

Walla Walla native Eric Dunham relies upon the best local Washington State fruit to craft his ultra-premium wines. Although he employs a minimalist approach in his wine-making process, Eric nonetheless takes great care with each bottle, right down to painting the labels of the Lewis Vineyard wines.

We Love This With

With a lush, cherry palate, tempered by high-toned notes of coriander and anise, this wine accentuates roasted, caramelized flavors, from spicy sweet potatoes to bourbon-brined turkeys.
