Country: US / Defiance Vineyard Estate
Variety: Syrah Washington
Winery: Nefarious / Lake Chelan
Consistent with the Lake Chelan winery’s lineup of red wines, this young Syrah brings a lot of generous, berry-flavored primary fruits, softened tannins and a deep purple color. The opening cherry and berry fruit, turning a little pruney and limned by citrusy acids, leads into a tart midpalate with some earth and granite underlying the fruit.
