Wine Reviews

This is Syrah from Washington.  Inky purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose has black raspberries, black olives, slight burnt rubber and spice.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, there is lush black raspberry fruit with a bit of an herbal streak.  Good finish.  Overall, a pretty classic profile for a Washington state Syrah.  This is drinking well and nearing maturity but should drink well for another eight to twelve years.  It is very nice on its own and should work well with many foods.  It would pair well with Indian cuisine.  

Deep garnet in color, mostly clear and bright.  The nose is earthy with some "merde" notes along with cherries and black cherries.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, black cherries with some earthiness.  A bit drying on the finish.  Great energy and balance.  This is about at peak but should offer up five to ten more years of top drinking.  This is great on its own, but better with food.  This would be great with cassoulet or a vegetarian bean based cassoulet.  

This drank very well considering how young it is.  Inky purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is deep with black raspberries, cedar, black olives, slight violets and spice.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Great texture.  On the palate, this is big and tasty.  Concentrated.  ll no doubt improve a bit as it matures, it offers up plenty of black raspberries, spice, roasted herbs and slight blueberries.  Long finish.  This should go another twenty years.  It is great on its own but needs big food for now.  It worked well with pizza but would also be nice  with Roasted Squash.
