Waterbrook 2006 Reserve Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Syrah Washington
Winery: Waterbrook / Columbia Valley (WA)

From Stonetree vineyard, this tightly styled Syrah offers white pepper laced into plummy fruit. There’s a pretty floral/violet streak, and also darker notes of tar and smoke, suggesting some coiled power behind the rather light front end.
