Spotlight On...
2004 Flying Dutchman Syrah, Freed Vineyard
Richard Cutler has been making wine from Freed Estate grapes since 2002 over at Flying Dutchman Winery on the Oregon Coast in Otter Rock, a few miles north of Newport and right next to Devil’s Punchbowl State Natural Area.
The 2004 Syrah was aged two years in new French and Hungarian oak, and aged one year in the bottle before release. The wine has "extraordinary smoothness and is layered with vanilla and cherry flavors," says Richard. In November 2007, it was awarded the Silver Medal at the Tri-Cities Wine Festival in eastern Washington.
The 2004 Syrah is available at Flying Dutchman Winery in Otter Rock and at their tasting room in Astoria in Oregon’s northwestern corner.
