Coeur d’Alene 2012 Scarlet Lake Syrah (Washington)

Country: US / Scarlet Lake
Variety: Syrah Washington
Winery: Coeur d’Alene / Washington

This directly appealing wine has notes of fresh blueberry pie, char and barrel spices. It’s richly flavored with blue fruit, showing excellent depth and intensity. Seemingly out-of-place tart acids and astringency need some time to (hopefully?) settle.
