House of Smith MCK Syrah 2022

House of Smith MCK Syrah 2022 is a bold Washington red that showcases the ripe, peppery character Syrah can achieve in the state’s warm, dry vineyard sites. Crafted by one of Washington’s most recognized producers, it offers plenty of depth, dark fruit intensity, and polished structure in a style that feels both modern and distinctly regional.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby to nearly opaque purple hue, hinting at its concentration. The nose opens with blackberries, plums, and blueberry compote, layered with cracked black pepper, smoked meat, violets, and a touch of espresso or dark cocoa. The palate is generous and full-bodied, with ripe dark fruit framed by savory spice, subtle oak, and a supple yet structured finish. The wine should have good mid-term aging potential, with its fruit and tannins likely to integrate further over the next several years.

Production
While detailed vineyard information is not provided, this Syrah comes from Washington State, a region known for its sunny climate, long growing season, and diverse soils that help Syrah develop concentration and balance. House of Smith is known for working with carefully selected vineyard sources and crafting wines that emphasize ripeness, structure, and varietal expression through precise vinification and thoughtful oak use.

Food & Serving
This Syrah pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, braised short ribs, steak, barbecue, and dishes with smoky or peppery seasoning. It also works well with roasted mushrooms and hearty lentil-based dishes. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, and decant for 30–60 minutes if you want to soften the wine and let the aromatics open up.
