2022 Rāga Syrah

The 2022 Rāga Syrah showcases the typicity of the varietal expression from one of the most iconic vineyards in Washington. It opens with a captivating berry nose, leading to a palate rich with ripe red fruit, blackberries, and plum. Subtle spice nuances enhance its complexity, while the absence of noticeable oak allows the fruit to shine. This Syrah, typical of Boushey Vineyard, exhibits a refined structure with vibrant acidity and well-integrated tannins. Hints of black pepper and a touch of violet add depth. Silky and round, it offers a beautifully balanced profile with a full mouthfeel and a long, satisfying finish.

This Syrah will pair beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled lamb, barbecued ribs, smoky gouda cheese, or with Indian dishes like lamb vindaloo or kebabs. The wine's rich, velvety texture and balanced acidity complement the intense spices, enhancing the savory and smoky elements of the cuisine while offering a smooth, satisfying finish.
