Genesis Columbia Valley Syrah

Nice and easy to drink

Great Syrah nose, over American oaked palate.

Peppery with bold tannins. You'd need to really love big reds to like this one. And I do.

Great upon opening — deep, rich blueberry, cedar, and tobacco notes — but gets acidic and the structure falls apart. Nice wine, but could be sturdier.

Forest fruits, ripe berries, a mouthful of marmelade. Delicious!

Black fruits and cherry with liquorice and coolish climate spice. Some savoury oak with touches of coconut.

Nothing special, was hoping a higher dryness. Sweeter side of dry.

Easy drinking. Great price.

Blackberry, black cherry, raisan, earthy, cinnamon, herbal, menthol, pepper, tannic

Medium dry, medium-full body, some acidity, medium finish

Smooth, flavorful, a little smoky
