Melrose 2009 Estate Grown Syrah (Umpqua Valley)

Country: US / Estate Grown
Variety: Syrah Oregon
Winery: Melrose / Umpqua Valley

This is an aromatically appealing estate Syrah with the Viognier (4% co-ferment) at the fore with notes of flowers and orange peel backed by Syrah’s smoked meat, pepper, and earthy funk. The palate is light in body and flavor, not quite matching all of the intensity the aromas have to offer.
