Boise winemakers Earl and Carrie Sullivan rely on the Irish word for “journey” as the name for their proprietary Syrah-based blend that pulls from Gamache and West Hills vineyards in Washington state and spent 22 months in French oak barrels of varying ages. Aromas of black cherry and black currant include milk chocolate, rose petal, crushed herbs and a bit of charred wood. Sweet flavors of cherries and currants pick up notes of rhubarb compote and firm tannins. This earned a silver medal at the 2014 Idaho Wine Competition, and these wines are available at the 44th Street tasting room in Garden City, the Boise Co-op, Whole Foods in Boise and the Hidden Springs Mercantile.
