Jacob Williams 2009 Hi-Valley Vineyard Syrah (Columbia Valley (OR))

Country: US / Hi-Valley Vineyard
Variety: Syrah Oregon
Winery: Jacob Williams / Columbia Valley (OR)

This well-aged release definitely falls on the ripe-to-the-point-of-raisins side of the fruit spectrum. It’s almost Port-like, with flavors of blackberry pie and coffee. Not a dessert wine though—it’s bone dry and ready to drink right now.
