Two Mountain 2012 Copeland Vineyard Syrah (Yakima Valley)

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Two Mountain / Copeland Vineyard

You’d swear this 100% varietal wine had some Viognier in it, but the orange-peel aromas and flavors are just a hallmark of Yakima Valley fruit. It also features abundant cranberry, mulberry, rose hip and savory notes. The supple feel with light meat accents is where this wine really shines, showing purity, texture and a lot of elegance. Those looking for big fruit, look elsewhere.
