Country: US / Stillwater Creek Vineyard
Variety: Syrah Washington
Winery: Novelty Hill / Columbia Valley (WA)
Novelty Hill’s vineyard-designated Syrah is bigger, darker and more aromatically complex than the companion Columbia Valley bottling. Cassis and blackberry fruit flavors are layered with chocolate and spice; immaculately clean, this does not display the earthy/meaty aspect of Syrah, but does have a pleasing minerality at the core.
