Syrah Grand Valley

2016 Grand Valley Syrah

Monkshood Cellars Syrah from the Grand Valley is a captivating red wine that showcases the lush characteristics of the Syrah varietal. With its deep, inky hue, this 2016 vintage exudes elegance and allure. The body is notably full, offering a substantial mouthfeel that envelops the palate in richness. Acidity is perfectly balanced, providing just the right amount of liveliness to keep the wine refreshing. The fruit intensity is prominent, with expressive notes of dark berry, plum, and a hint of black pepper that dance harmoniously. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, contributing structure without overpowering the wine's finesse. This Syrah is beautifully dry, making it a versatile choice for pairing with grilled meats, hearty stews, or even rich cheeses.

From rich and powerful California Zinfandel to spicy Oregon Pinot Noir, and from full-bodied Washington Merlot to aromatic New York Riesling, the wines of the United States are nearly as diverse as its population. People have been making wine in North America from European vitis vinifera vines since the first French settlers arrived in the 1500s. Progress stalled along the way by pests and diseases that the vine had never encountered in its homelands, but today wine is produced in all 50 states. With more than 260 AVAs to discover, each with its unique climate and landscape, wines of the United States have much to offer.
