Ex Umbris Columbia Valley Syrah
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
A blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, medium+ Ruby with purple hues, aromas of dark berry fruits, spices and smoky notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry fruit with cacao, leather and earthy notes, wrapped in vivid acidity on nicely structured frame. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with a fruit and spice character. Drinks very nicely now, but will cellar a bit. Good value!

Covid crisis austerity... got this for $11.25 - 20%. It’s an introverted pro wrestler. Looks like it can fight but never really gets going.

Jun 6th, 2019Nose is bursting with red fruit, spice and wild flowers.
Palate is more spice, bright red fruit and a touch of cinnamon. Everything is in proportion and smooth. A hell of a syrah from Washington state.
"From shadows and imagination to reality."

This wine has so much life and lush bramble fruit. Hardly any sediment, could age much longer. I wish I had more!

Brambly blackberry and blueberry nose and palate with earth and black pepper notes. Medium to full bodied with good acid and a long, black fruit finish.

It's a black abyss of dark fruits, boysenberry, black cherries, black everything. Pretty polished and known to be Jammin like Bob Marley hard.
