Long Shadows Vintners
Nine Hats Columbia Valley Syrah
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Smells of lovely cacao..
Cacao, hints of tabac, blueberry seed,! Bits of barnyard. A good Wine of hefty weight, yet certainly reminds me of a SoCal Syrah, with huge extraction.
A winters warmer, nonetheless.

A lot of oak and lots of cherries. Drinks like chocolate covered cherries.

Nov 9th, 2021This is a solid Syrah that reaches above its price point by a notch. Big fruit and leather on the nose, juicy blackberries and bacon fat notes on the pallet. Lingers well, and great grip on the tongue. Yum!

Color of dark purple. Nose of dark fruits, like blackberry and ripe blueberries, minty, sweet vanilla, and nose is plenty. Taste is quite dry, mouthful with bitter graphite, mature and still bold tannins, oak and cedar wood, some more vanilla and hint of dark fruits. Aftertaste shows a bit peppery, oak, and some more bittersweet note. I think she has peaked.

Great wine, a bit pricey but well worth it on a Fri after a exhausting week!!! $19.99 at Costco USA
