The majority of vineyards for this Syrah are located in the central coast area of Paso Robles. The wine is rich and juicy, bursting with ripe summer fruit flavors and great concentration and depth. Enjoy with grilled meats and vegetables, enchiladas with red sauce, or a BLT!
2004 Pendulum Red Table Wine, Washington - Regularly $26.99
The Columbia Valley's reputation for red wine is built on its ability to produce supple fruit, such as the Merlot, Cabernet , Syrah and other varieties that make up Pendulum. Sheltered from Seattle's maritime climate by the towering Cascade Mountain Range, the appellation receives less than 8 inches of rainfall annually. Long, warm summer days and significantly cooler nights produce fully mature fruit with concentrated flavors. Ripe blackberry, plum flavors and a hint of black licorice are balanced with a finish of toffee and toasty oak.
