Columbia Valley Syrah
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Color of deep beautiful purple, turning a bit light purple, gray, and blue on the rim. Nose of vanilla, cherry, dried strawberry, some cranberry, and juicy grapes. Taste is smooth and milky, vanilla flavors oriented, low almost non tannins. 2nd sip shows her dark fruits note, with some strawberry, dark cherry, deep skin grapes, some mineral also. Smooth and humble. Aftertaste is again very mild yet with right amount of flavors, good raisins, very gentle wine. Had a 2nd bottle 2 months later. The comments hold. In addition, I feel she has more than just mild flavors, full flavors in fact.

May 27th, 2020Even better than the last bottle we tried. Over delivers again. Vanilla on the nose and a mouthful of juicy dark fruit, sweet tannins and a touch of oak. PNP.

Stunning color and extract- quite rich and balanced. This is so well made without being over ripe. Great deal. $35 and worth it.
