Novelty Hill 2009 Stillwater Creek Vineyard Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Stillwater Creek Vineyard
Variety: Syrah Washington
Winery: Novelty Hill / Columbia Valley (WA)

This tight, young Syrah has a succinct core of blueberry and raspberry flavors, which are wrapped in a mix of herb, earth and green tea. The tannins are just slightly bitter, but all in balance, and that bitterness is not at all unpleasant.
