W. B. Bridgman Cellars
Columbia Valley Syrah
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Not sure what to think of this one. It has the characteristic blackberry, heft and nice round mouthfeel (Kind of like a corpulent, provencial stockbroker.), but there is such an upsurge of buoyant acidity, like a roiling, textural speed bump (not unpleasant at all), unexpected though, and pronounced. I am putting it just on the smiley side of this obscure rating rating system because I am not sure whether I am happy to experience Syrah like this or whether I miss the double breasted cigar-chewing old-guard Syrah of my misspent youth. This one will remain enigmatic for now. Capitalist pigs!

One of my favorite Syrahs. Pleasant, light body, with a fantastic peppery finish
