Boushey is one of the premier sites for Syrah in Washington, and this dense, almost syrupy wine shows why. Sappy blackberry fruit holds the center, surrounded with dark, tannic flavors of espresso, licorice and pepper. This is obviously great fruit; a lighter hand at the press would mitigate the rough tannins and up the score.——P.G.(12/15/2004)—— 90
