Dunham Cellars
Lewis Vineyard Syrah
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
The ‘Lewis Vineyard’ Syrah by Dunham Cellars was aged in French oak puncheons prior to bottling. This outstanding wine utilized Phelps clone Syrah which was planted in the late 1990s. This shows a wonderful purity of fruit on the palate, with black fruits being dominant, alongside brilliant chocolate and earthy undertones Delicious now, this will cellar well for a decade or more. Drink 2019-2030- 93

Pleasantly wonderful Syrah from a mainstay Vinyard that is historically key to Dunham’s success. Integrated fruit, touch of smoke.... lovely

Jul 26th, 2020Caramel buns on the nose, also subtle hints of cherry cola, long, smooth finish. Bold but not overbearing.

Single varietal 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon. Smells of dark cherry fruit, some vanilla. Tastes surprisingly light for a pure cab - light on tannins, balance of acidity.
