✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the acclaimed DuBrul Vineyard in Washington's Yakima Valley, this single-vineyard Syrah showcases the exceptional synergy between Owen Roe's minimal-intervention winemaking and one of the Pacific Northwest's most celebrated terroirs. Planted on a steep, south-facing hillside with diverse soils of basalt, windblown loess, and alluvial cobblestones, DuBrul Vineyard benefits from dramatic diurnal temperature shifts. This unique microclimate allows the Syrah grapes to develop concentrated flavors while retaining vibrant natural acidity. Winemaker David O'Reilly utilizes small-batch fermentations and careful French oak aging to craft a wine of profound depth, characterized by its signature notes of dark bramble fruit, savory black olive, smoked meats, and refined stony minerality, echoing the classic profiles of the Northern Rhône.
