Helix by Reininger 2007 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US /
Variety: Syrah Washington
Winery: Helix by Reininger / Columbia Valley (WA)

This captures the gamy, herbal, earthy complexity of Washington Syrah, but mutes it somewhat behind a wall of raspberry fruit. Not a bad combo by any means! This one carries some stemmy flavors into the finish. Just enough to put a hard edge on it.
