The M4 Sherman was the most widely used medium tank by the Western Allies in WWII, and was the antithesis of the German tanks it faced. With over 12 variants built on the chassis or hull, the Sherman was simple, reliable, cheap to produce, and easy to work on. Tank units were shadowed by recovery units that repaired disabled vehicles in the field and returned them to service quickly – even with riddled hulls. Comparatively, German tanks had to leave the front in order to be repaired. This combination gave the Allies an numerical edge, which ultimately won the Western front.
Winemaking notes: A hand picked, single block, late harvest, Syrah from Old 47 Estate Vineyard in the Tualatin Hills AVA. Destemmed, not crushed. Punched down daily during a 2.5 week ferment. Unfined and polished filtered with natural and added sulfites for freshness, no additional additives, preservatives, animal products, or residual sugar. Aged 1.5 years on the lees with French Medium+ toasted oak.
Tasting notes: This cool climate Syrah is produced in a pinot noir style and features a delicate palate, fruity undertones, and a gentle tannin profile that builds on a long finish. This versatile wine can easily stand up to a meal or be enjoyed solo.
