Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020

JamesSuckling.com, Andrii Stetsiuk  92 Points | Attractive nose of grilled herbs, blackberries, olives, chicory root and peppercorns. Savory and gently chewy with medium to full body, grainy tannins and an inky finish. Drink now.

JebDunnuck.com, Jeb Dunnuck 91 Points |  Coming from a mix of sites, the 2020 Syrah Columbia Valley is an up- front, fruit-loaded, charming Syrah revealing tons of darker berry fruits, some peppery, meaty notes, medium to full body, plenty of creamy background oak, and a great finish. It’s a good value and will put a smile
on your face any time over the coming 5-7 years.

Vinous, Eric Guido 90 Points | The 2020 Syrah opens with a delicate blend of fresh sage and plum sauce forming its bouquet. This is softly textured and lifted in feel, with crisp red and black fruits complemented by sweet spice. It finishes
youthfully grippy yet lively, leaving hints of citrus and a bitter balsamic
twang.

Winemaker Description 

Washington State’s winegrowing region is ideally suited to maximize the full expression of Syrah. Spicy, rich, and complex, with soft tannins and bright acidity, our Columbia Valley Syrah is the perfect food pairing wine.
Tasting Notes

This full-bodied Syrah shows robust and pronounced aromas of blackberry, black currant, violets, black peppercorn, Herbes de Provence, and licorice. Spiced dark fruit flavors reveal themselves on the palate finishing with a mouth-filling, savory richness.
