Big Table Farm ‘The Funk’ Syrah

Sourced from one of the esteemed vineyards in the Walla Walla Rocks appellation, ‘The Funk Estate Vineyard’ was planted by Walla Walla wine pioneer Richard Funk who has gained national acclaim. Thee vines, as shown on the label are planted in what is effectively bedrock and stony ground. These stones help to naturally cool and also gently prolong warmth to the vines, extending the long diurnal range it has at this site due to the altitude.

The wine is dark ruby in the glass. The flavour profile is one of redcurrants and wild blackberry compote, all combined with fantastic freshness and elegance on the palate alongside a silky texture. In the mouth, the wine gives extra layers of complexity, black cherry, cassis, black tea, anise, exotic spices, and earthy tones. This wine demonstrates the accessible yet massively complex wines that Big Table Farm make. It is a beautifully textured wine will have a long life ahead of it but at the same time is stunning now.
