✨ Tekniske specifikationer
JM Cellars' Shaw Ridge Vineyard Syrah is a powerful testament to the dramatic terroir of Washington's Red Mountain AVA. Sourced from the steep, sun-drenched slopes of the Shaw Ridge Vineyard, the vines here endure intense desert heat during the day and rapid cooling at night, a diurnal shift that preserves vital acidity while developing rich, concentrated flavors. The soils, composed of wind-blown loess over gravelly caliche, force the vines to struggle, resulting in small, thick-skinned berries. Winemaker John Bigelow utilizes traditional small-lot fermentation and aging in French oak barrels to craft a Syrah of immense depth. This wine beautifully captures the wild, savory character of the region, balancing opulent dark fruit with signature notes of smoked meats, cracked black pepper, and crushed stone.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
JM Cellars blev grundlagt i 1998 af John og Peggy Bigelow og er et anerkendt, familiedrevet vinhus beliggende i de fredfyldte, skovklædte omgivelser ved Bramble Bump i Woodinville, Washington, suppleret af deres egne vinmarker på Margaret's Vineyard i Walla Walla Valley. Vinhuset er dedikeret til bæredygtigt håndværk i små partier og henter førsteklasses druer fra velrenommerede AVA'er i Pacific Northwest for at skabe vine med harmonisk struktur og ægte druetypicitet. JM Cellars roses især for sin alsidige og udtryksfulde portefølje, der spænder fra karakteristiske Bordeaux-blends og enkeltmarks-Cabernet Sauvignon til livfulde Rhône-druer og hvidvine i stærkt begrænsede mængder.
