Delfino 2012 Syrah (Umpqua Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Syrah Oregon
Winery: Delfino / Umpqua Valley

An aromatic, low-alcohol Syrah, this opens with spice, pepper and tart cranberry fruit. It layers in flavors of blue plum and a light wreath of smoke. It’s an elegant style, miles away from the usual amped-up blockbuster Northwest Syrahs.
