Barrister 2006 Morrison Lane Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Barrister / Morrison Lane

Co-fermented with Viognier from the same vineyard, this is a lovely counterpoint to the big, bruising Barrister Bacchus Vineyard Syrah. Violets and chocolate dominate, with wild herb and cured meat flavors through the midpalate. Tannins are chewy and textured, with some stem and bark flavors.
