2002 Columbia Valley Syrah

Gold Medal, 2005 Oregon State Fair

"Outstanding!" Oregon Wine Report, Spring 2005

“Concentrated aromas of dried plums, roasted meat, dried wood, vanilla, black raspberry and smoke - nicely complex! Smooth mouthfeel carries forward and well focused flavors of spicy plums and sweet raspberries, backed by firm acidity and very nicely controlled tannins. This is a well made, flavorful syrah that offers nicely focused and bright fruit with a nice, fresh feel (thanks to the balanced tannins). Cook’s Choice: Bright, flavorful fruit makes this a great match for big, flavorful food!” Oregon Wine Report, Spring 2005.
