Crafted from hand picked fruit grown at Sagemoor Vineyards in the heart of Washington’s Columbia Valley. |
| • |
Crushed in small open top stainless steel fermenters followed by a 24-hour “cold soak” for improved color and tannin extraction. |
| • |
Inoculation is done with a red Bordeaux yeast and fermentation on the skin takes place for the next 10 days. |
| • |
Following the skin maceration, the young wine is pressed to a tank and allowed to settle for up to 72 hours, after which time it is racked to small French oak barrels. |
| • |
The wine is aged for 26 months in French oak barrels to further enhance fruit components and tannin structure. |
| • |
Our Chelsea Cellars Syrah is an extraordinary wine, rich and concentrated, it delivers layers of flavors built around black cherry and a solid mix of black and red fruit.. |
| • |
Graceful and seductive tannins that linger on a long expressive finish. |
