Daedalus Cellars Syrah 06

This Syrah comes exclusively from a 1.5-acre parcel of McDuffee Vineyard in The Dalles, Eastern Oregon. A 36-day fermentation assured that we captured every bit of nuance and expression of minerality, boysenberry, cherry, smoked meat and thyme inherent in the vineyard. It has a powerful attack, sweet plump fruit, excellent structure and extroverted character.

It should drink well upon release, with decanting, and will develop greater nuance and richness over the next seven to ten years. - The Winery

This Syrah comes exclusively from a 1.5-acre parcel of McDuffee Vineyard in The Dalles, Eastern Oregon. The vineyard is cropped around two tons per acre, and the wine is aged without new oak, leaving the concentrated fruit to express itself. Cool nights in the vineyard maintain a crisp acidity in the wine, making it a wonderful partner for food.
