Lone Birch 2021 Syrah

Wine of the Week

 

April 27, 2023

Lone Birch is the low-cost brand from Airfield Estates (Airfield’s Dauntless red wine was featured last week). Lone Birch is another of their brands worth seeking out, especially for this estate-grown Syrah. It’s amazing that Washington Syrah this good can be found at this price. The stacked flavors are true to varietal character, true to place, and made to be enjoyed immediately while also built for longer-term aging. You’d have to pay at least double to find something comparable. Purchase this wine here:  https://www6.cleverconcepts.net/lonebirchwines.com/buy-wines/index.php

1373 cases; 14.5%; $13 (Yakima Valley) 89/100
