Mark Ryan Winery
Wild Eyed Red Mountain Syrah
Red Mountain, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Focused Syrah, from Washington St. crew of Mark Ryan. Cherry cola and cranberry fill the nose. Full, soft and lush mouthfeel, pushing flavors of blackberry, plum, cola and tad of eucalyptus. Relaxed tannins, balanced acidity creates a finish that gushing with jammy smokey black fruits and earth.

Really nice reserved and restrained WA Syrah. Love the elegance, balance, and airiness that this exudes. Velvety. Well made.

Purchased at release and like most WA Syrahs needs time to achieve its potential. This wine is now soft and fully integrated with black and red cherry graphite tar menthol spice cedar smoked meat all in balance with just enoigh acid to keep it bright. Color is still deep ruby with no rim variation. I've had every vintage ever made of the Wild Eyed and remain loyal.
