Country: US / Rocky Mother Vineyard Estate
Variety: Syrah Washington
Winery: Nefarious / Columbia Valley (WA)
This is Syrah from the far northwest corner of the Columbia Valley, a cool region, whose wines show an underlying minerality. The berry flavors are subtle; this is a mélange of leaf, herb, rock and acid. Still young, the tannins are drying and the wine seems to be entering a dumb phase. Give it plenty of breathing time.
