✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the wind-swept slopes of the Horse Heaven Hills AVA, the Columbia Crest Coyote Canyon Vineyard Reserve Syrah represents a masterful expression of Washington State's capability with Rhône varieties. The Coyote Canyon Vineyard, meticulously farmed by the Andrews family, is renowned for its steep, south-facing slopes and quick-draining, gravelly soils. This unique terroir, combined with the intense diurnal temperature shifts of the region, coaxes out a Syrah of immense concentration, structure, and complexity. Columbia Crest's winemaking team utilizes traditional small-lot fermentation and extended oak aging to craft a wine that balances bold, dark fruit characteristics with savory undertones of black olive, cracked pepper, and smoked meats, paying homage to the classic Côte-Rôtie style while remaining distinctly expressive of the Pacific Northwest.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Columbia Crest blev grundlagt i 1983 i Paterson langs Columbia-flodens solbeskinnede bredder og har spillet en afgørende rolle i at etablere staten Washington som en vinregion i absolut verdensklasse. Vingården ligger i hjertet af Columbia Valley og Horse Heaven Hills, hvor vinstokkene nyder godt af ideelle vækstbetingelser med markante temperaturforskelle mellem dag og nat samt veldrænede jordbunde. Huset forener præcisionsdyrkning i vinmarken med moderne kældermetoder for at skabe vine med imponerende konsistens, dybde og umiddelbar tilgængelighed. Columbia Crest er især berømt for sin fyldige, velstrukturerede Cabernet Sauvignon, sin bløde Merlot og sin spændstige Chardonnay, som udfolder sig i anmelderroste serier som Grand Estates, H3 og flagskibet Walter Clore Private Reserve.
