Northwest Totem Cellars 2006 Elerding Vineyard Syrah (Yakima Valley)

Country: US / Elerding Vineyard
Variety: Syrah Washington
Winery: Northwest Totem Cellars / Yakima Valley

Co-fermented with 3% Viognier, this tart and sharp-edged Washington Syrah sports bright berry fruit and just a hint of earth in the tannins. The acids are a little chalky, and there is a slight medicinal quality in the back of the mouth as the wine finishes.
