The 2006 Syrah Barrel Select (100% Syrah) is a selection of the best barrels in the cellar with the wine aged for 20 months in new French oak prior to bottling without fining or filtration. The nose reveals toasty oak, earth notes, smoke, lavender, bacon, and blueberry. Plush, bordering on voluptuous on the palate, it has superior depth of flavor, loads of spicy dark fruit, excellent balance, and 5-7 years of aging potential. It should be at its best from 2015 to 2026. Bergevin Lane, located in Walla Walla, continues to make impressive wines at a range of price points. These three value wines are first-class.Tel.
