Syrah
G3 is a tribute to the three generations of the Monson family to have farmed in the Columbia Valley for more than a century.
Tasting Notes
Our G3 Syrah opens with an alluring mix of blueberry, blackberry, and plum notes beautifully paired with distinctive hints of gamey, cured meats. The palate delivers a rich and juicy density. Layers of black cherry and black raspberry merge effortlessly with the sweetness of toasted oak, introducing profound depth and complexity. The texture is marked by savory nuances, which contribute to a lush and luxurious mouthfeel. The finish is both broad and intensely flavorful, featuring gamey and rustic elements alongside a resurgence of fresh, wild berry flavors that maintain a lively juiciness.
Vineyards
The fruit for this wine was sourced from many of the premier blocks of the estate.
Goose Ridge Estate Winery is certified by Sustainable WA, a 3rd party sustainability program for Washington grape growers. Sustainable WA is a framework of best management practices that focus on the three pillars of sustainability; environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic viability. Goose Ridge was one of the first to gain the certification.
Winemaking
The wine’s extraction was managed during fermentation to create a balance of color, structure, and flavor. Malolactic fermentation on oak smoothed and softened the wine. The wine matured for 16 months in barrels (with 20% new oak).
