Dunham 2008 Lewis Vineyard Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Lewis Vineyard
Variety: Syrah Washington
Winery: Dunham / Columbia Valley (WA)

The artist label Syrah is usually Dunham’s best, as this vineyard is well-established as one of the premier sites in Washington for Syrah. Scents of violets and black cherry introduce a dense, hard, tightly wound, muscular effort that needs a generous amount of breathing time. It rolls through the palate on a train of well-defined fruit, spice and chocolate, all nicely integrated. Supple and long.
