Gramercy 2009 Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US /
Variety: Syrah Washington
Winery: Gramercy / Walla Walla Valley (WA)

A very firm and well-structured expression of pure Walla Walla Syrah. There is a core of blueberry and blackberry fruit, amply wrapped in sweetly toasty, smoky oak (despite very little new barrel usage). It finishes clean with the characteristic earthy foundation of Walla Walla Syrah, and a streak of rock and licorice.
