Bel' Villa Syrah
Red Mountain, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Inky in color with short purple rim.
Strong nose of black currants, plums, oak, tar, licorice, spices, charcoal and light blood notes.
Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, dark chocolates, oak, spices, licorice, tobacco and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Syrah from Red Mountain in Washington State. Rich and extracted, yet not in your face kind of wine.
This Single Vineyard Syrah is well balanced with nice complexity. Fruit forward and spicy.
I had the 2022 not too long ago, and it definitely gets better with age. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine. A New world Syrah on the nose and palate.
100% Syrah grapes were aged for 18 months in 50% new oak barrels. 80% french and 20% American oak barrels. A small production of only 3,000 bottles. Unfiltered.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$40.

Deep purple in color with a purplish rim.
Strong nose of black fruits with oak, earth and chocolate notes.
Full bodied and soft, with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black cherries, black plums, currants, oak, licorice, earth, light vegetables, herbs, dark chocolates and peppercorn.
Medium on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This young Syrah from Red Mountain is starting to drink very nicely. Rich, elegant and fruit forward. Complex with a soft mouthfeel.
Needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.
This Single Vineyard Syrah is powerful, yet elegant. Soft, spicy and smooth. Good by itself or with food.
100% Syrah grapes were aged in (50% new) French and American Oak barrels for 18 months. Unfiltered and Biodynamic. A tiny production of less than 1,500 bottles.

Little less of the silk you usually find from WA in a good way more Northern Rhone esk. Could be young or could be delicious you tell me. But I'll green light this one.

Minimal fruit aromas with medium tannins. Not my style of Syrah. Also past its prime. It’s OK. Would want to try a newer vintage.
