The 2007 Syrah is a big, bold wine, with aromas of dark cherry, fig, plum, licorice and barrel spice. An exceptional syrah with balanced acidity and low tannin this wine is drinking nicely now and will continue to please for years to come.

The Edgefield Winery is located at the mouth of the Columbia River Gorge at historic McMenamins Edgefield, site of the former Multnomah County Poor Farm (ca. 1911). Just 80 miles east of Edgefield, the Cascade Range marks a dramatic climate shift, a virtual curtain dividing arid Eastern Oregon from the temperate Willamette Valley. Chukar Ridge Vineyard, just outside Dallesport, WA, sits on the edge of this curtain, where gorge winds and plenty of warmth combine to yield consistently bold, cherry-flavored Syrahs, with concentrated blueberry aromatics.
