Wine Advocate 90 points - The 2005 Syrah was aged in 36% new French oak for 16 months. Purple-colored, it reveals a fragrant perfume of sausage, game, and blueberry. There is some light tannin to support 1-2 years of evolution and an overall elegant personality. Drink this lengthy effort over the next 7 years. ”

At Amavi Cellars, we have chosen to focus on Syrah wines which showcase the extraordinary quality and the unique, concentrated, fruit flavors of Pepper Bridge Vineyard and Seven Hills Vineyard, our Walla Walla Valley estate vineyards. Over the years, these estate vineyards have consistently produced grapes used by other Washington winemakers to produce Syrah wines of exceptional complexity, balance and concentration. ce.
