Avennia was founded on the passion to showcase Washington as a unique and compelling place for great wines. Their priority is to acquire fruit from some of the finest vineyards in Washington, and allow them to express themselves. They chose to focus on the grape varieties used in Bordeaux and the Rhône, as their similar latitude to Washington makes them a natural fit to excel here.

“Arnaut” Syrah $65
Showing beautiful and complex savory aromas of dark plum, fresh-picked blackberry, oil-cured Kalamata olives, dried mesquite, menthol, salted licorice, and rubbed thyme. It is quite burly on the palate, with inky essences of black plum, smoked meats, black olive, wild herbs, and an intense stony minerality. Shows a fine structure with great tension on the palate. It’s worth waiting a few years for this wine to settle into 15 years or so of great drinking.
