Syrahcha Syrah Shiraz 2018

We love this wine. Not often do we find good wine in fun packages but this is definetely a winner.

This historic project from the original wine hill in Oregon, the David Hill vineyards, is nurtured into existence by Jeff Verj. Prepare to have your palates wowed and your horizons expanded. These are wines made from old vines, organic, and just a little wild. Minimal farming and minimal winemaking.

“We are strong believers in the future of Oregon Syrah. Our Syrahcha is a blend of unique syrah and shiraz clones from the Columbia Gorge AVA. This vineyard straddles the extreme volcanic influences of Mt. Hood and the sedimentary soils of the Columbia River. Our Syrah is on the elegant side, with mountain berry flavors, wild herb notes, and a meatiness that Syrah lovers desire.”

“Syrahcha transports us back to the reasons why wine was made in the first place. To be enjoyed and to aid in the enjoyment of life. Syrahcha is a blend of unique Syrah and Shiraz clones from the Columbia Gorge AVA. The vineyard straddles the extreme volcanic influence of Mt. Hood and the sedimentary soils of the Columbia River. This is Syrah on the elegant side, with mountain berry flavors, wild herb notes, and a meatiness that all Syrah lovers desire. It is wine for take-out, barbecue, charcuterie and all culinary points in between. Like many of his winemaking peers, Vejr is here to remind us that wine is meant to be enjoyed, that innovation can never replace inspiration, that technology can never be an end in itself, and of course that history always has something to teach us.”
