thurston wolfe syrah (columbia valley (wa))

點擊次數(shù)：1370

Fragrant, briary, and enhanced with flavors of ripe berries and whiffs of smoke, animal and earth. There are also some funky, leathery flavors, that will be off-putting to some, but they do not overwhelm the blackberry and black cherry fruit. If you like that leather, this will hit the spot.——P.G.(11/1/2008)—— 86

Smoky, dark, tannic and spicy, this inky-dark Syrah is packed with flavors of sweet cherries and has a big, Port-like structure. It seems built for immediate enjoyment, not cellaring. In the world of pricey Washington Syrah it really stands alone. Big flavor, small price.——P.G.(12/31/2003)—— 89

An incredibly dark wine, bursting with spicy, cherry, Port-like flavors. The fruit is concentrated, sweetly ripe, and layered with pepper and tobacco. —P.G.——P.G.(9/1/2002)—— 90

Black/garnet color and dusty, mocha/smoke scents. There are also some whiffs of anise and sweet spice, cinnamon and nutmeg, like fresh-baked pumpkin pie. Built along the ultraripe lines of Australian Shiraz, this is an exotic wine whose idiosyncratic style won’t appeal to everyone.——P.G.(9/1/2000)—— 90
