2019 K Vintners “Cattle King” Syrah — Snipes Mountain, Washington
The Moment
This is the bottle for when you want a Washington red with presence — powerful, savory, and built for serious dinners or slow evenings with something exceptional in the glass.
A Syrah that shows both muscle and precision, balancing dark fruit with wild herbs, spice, and mineral depth.
What It Feels Like
Deep, structured, and layered from the first swirl.
The nose opens with black cherry, cassis, and dark berries, followed by pine, sage, dried herbs, and cracked white pepper. There’s an unmistakable Washington mineral edge — graphite, warm stone, and savory earth.
On the palate, it’s rich and concentrated without feeling heavy. Purple fruit and black cherry compote meet black olive, spice, and a chalky mineral backbone that keeps everything lifted and energetic.
Silky but structured tannins carry into a long, savory finish with a saline, peppery snap and vibrant acidity that gives the wine remarkable freshness for its size.
Why We Love This Bottle
K Vintners consistently produces some of Washington’s most compelling Syrah, and Cattle King sits among the standouts. Whole-cluster fermentation brings lift and spice, while Snipes Mountain fruit delivers depth and mineral tension.
It’s powerful but never clumsy — a serious Syrah that still feels alive in the glass.
A perfect bottle for collectors, Washington Syrah lovers, or anyone wanting something bold with real character.
