Gamache 2008 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

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

As Washington-grown Syrah takes the national spotlight, this entry from Gamache should be on everyone’s radar. It’s a very well-made example of the classic Washington style, with a bright mix of berry, composted earth, licorice and black tea, backed with citrusy acids. Moderate in density, despite relatively high alcohol, it’s good for drinking over the next five years.
