Ott & Murphy 2010 Double Bluff Red (Horse Heaven Hills)

Country: US / Double Bluff
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Ott & Murphy / Horse Heaven Hills

Syrah comprises more than half of this spicy, Rhône-style blend, which also includes Grenache and Cinsault. A scent of wild berry introduces this wine, which feels sharp and carries a hint of pickle barrel, though no American oak is indicated. The palate broadens to display a flavor of strawberry compote and a whiff of chocolate.
