253 STOLEN HORSE SYRAH gourmet pairings Pairs wonderfully with pan- seared, fresh Northwest salmon and morel mushrooms. tasting notes Stolen Horse Syrah is made in the same elegant style for which Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon is known. With Syrah being such an ambassador of terroir, multiple "areas" of the Walla Walla Valley are blended together in order to create the best overall Syrah possible. winemaker's insight We purposefully select individual vineyard sites for the Syrah that are completely unique to each other. Once we pick the grapes, we do a mixture of whole cluster and destemmed fermentations in small lots with native and selected yeasts for long maceration times. We approach our Syrah almost like a Pinot Noir—it's a very hands-off process in the winery, trying to keep the wine as fresh as possible and truly let the vineyards and the Walla Walla Valley show through. awarDs & DistinCtions 93 points – Wine Enthusiast APPELLATION: Walla Walla Valley COMPOSITION: 95% Syrah, 5% Viognier (co- ferment) MATURATION: Aged 18 months in French oak with about 25% new, puncheons and concrete tulips CELLARING: May be enjoyed three years from vintage year or up to 10-15 years TECHNICAL DATA Visit our website by scanning the image to left or visit www.doubleback.com LEARN MORE
