Damsel 2012 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US /
Variety: Syrah Washington
Winery: Damsel / Columbia Valley (WA)

Blended with 10% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache, with the fruit coming from StoneTree and Stillwater Creek vineyards, this inaugural release offers brambly fruit, smoke, chocolate and peppery spices. It’s full of rich, layered but still supple blue and black fruit flavors that linger on the finish, showing a deft mixture of power and restraint supported by a light grip of tannins.
