Market Vineyards
Dividend Syrah
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
The color is a deeeep daaaaaark purple. On the nose there's an overlaying minerality above aromas of lavender, raisins, chocolate (Raisinettes, anyone?) and pepper, with a slight not of anise. It smells very ripe and sticky. In the mouth it's rich and lush with soft tannin and just a little perk of acidity. The minerality on the nose is also on the palate with flavors of pomegranate, strawberry jam and baked earth. The most impressive feature is the ridiculously long finish with lip smacking pomegranate and baked earth. Incredibly well rounded Syrah.

Nov 27th, 2016Awfully nondescript. Very little finish or flavor. Smooth, however. Due to age?
