The AlmaTerra Coéo (pronounced co-ay-o) Syrah is a blend of our three single-vineyard wines: 47% from Ciel du Cheval Vineyard in the Red Mountain AVA, 28% from Coyote Canyon Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA and 25% from the Minick Vineyard in the Yakima Valley AVA. Savor the complexity and nuance of our terroir-inspired Syrah wines.

2006 COÉO SYRAH

TA: 0.63 | pH: 3.68 | Alc. 13.9%
The winemaker’s blend of the three individual vineyards captures the best of all worlds. It is loaded with ripe berry and fruit flavors, has a chewy, bold structure and an exotic spicy core that leads to a deeply concentrated and lengthy finish.

2006 COÉO VIOGNIER

TA: 0.71 | pH: 3.44 | 13.5%

This intriguing blend of three distinct vineyards captures deep floral, citrus, and lemon zest aromas, while 12 months sur lees barrel aging in 3rd-fill and neutral 100% Sirugue barrels leads to a round, full-bodied richness with hints of vanilla, caramel, and bright acidity.
