The 2016 Syrah from our backdoor vineyards at 3 Horse Ranch in the Eagle Foothills AVA (Winegrowing Appellation) is perhaps the finest wine we have produced to date. 2016 was an excellent vintage for Idaho, with near perfect growing and harvesting conditions. The fruit came in fully ripe, with well developed elegant tannins. This Syrah was partially matured in New French Oak, to add to its mouthfeel, finish and cellar life. This wine is drinking spot-on now, but will continue to gain complexity for the next five to ten years! Do what we do at the Ranch: Pull the cork and put it to use! Also, Idaho Syrah really makes the meal for ANY season, with notes of pepper, allspice, currants, licorice, smoked meats and leather!
2019 was a standout year in the Eagle Foothills and our 2019 GSM (64% Grenache / 31% Mourvèdre / 5% Syrah) is no exception to the rule. The rare vine cuttings came from the storied CdP estate, Château de Beaucastel, in France and are thriving in our sandy/loamy soil.
This very special wine marries boisterous and fruity Grenache with brooding and peppery Mourvèdre and Syrah.
One of the great white wines of the world, a white wine that continues to improve with age, a wine that is enjoyable in it's youth and fantastic as it develops in the bottle. Our 2018 Vintage Roussanne is just now coming into it's own as a power house wine.
We are understandably proud of our Estate Wines, wines grown and created by 3 Horse Ranch Vineyards here in the Eagle Foothills AVA.
