Ex Umbris Columbia Valley Syrah


Not super blowsy, but also a bit showy and fruit-forward. I still don't get why people don't drink more Syrah. Dark bramble fruit, smoked and charred meat, black olive and confit plums.

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

Tons of primary black fruit and lots of oak. Still, really solid Syrah.

A beautiful example of Columbia Valley Syrah!! Big Dark brambly fruit with smokey black olive overtones. I keep coming back to this wine! I think it is better then what the “pros” rate it. (Average: 8.8). Outstanding and a great value. Paid $25.
