Luke, Syrah, Wahluke Slope, Columbia Valley, Washington 2017

“Zesty and plump, with easygoing fruit, offering blackberry and pepper flavors that build richness toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2025.”-90WS

LOCATED IN THE COLUMBIA VALLEY AVA ON A LAZY SOUTHERN SLOPE, THE WAHLUKE SLOPE AVA PRODUCES SOME OF THE BEST WASHINGTON WINES AND LUKE IS NO EXCEPTION.

The Wahluke Slope AVA is a gem that’s just starting to receive attention in the wine world. The area is more than 80,000 acres with about 8,000 planted to vines. Distinguished by geography and terroir, it has one of the warmest and driest climates in Washington—perfect for producing excellent wines.

LUKE TAKES ITS NAME FROM THE WORD WAHLUKE, THE NATIVE AMERICAN TERM FOR “WATERING PLACE”. THE WANAPUM ARE THE NATIVE SETTLERS AND CARE TAKERS OF THE LAND THAT IS NOW THE WAHLUKE SLOPE AND IT IS WITH GREAT HONOR AND RESPECT THAT LUKE IS PRODUCED FROM THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
