Country: US /
Variety: Syrah Washington
Winery: Barnard Griffin / Columbia Valley (WA)
Though labeled simply Columbia Valley, this is a classic example of Wahluke Slope Syrah. Well-integrated layers of citrus, berry, roasted coffee beans, vanilla cookie and Graham cracker combine into a most accessible, yet complex wine. It’s ready to drink, and should be consumed over the next 3–4 years.
