Columbia Valley Syrah 2013

Tom Casagrande

9.2

Last bottle of the wine that, about 9 or 10 years ago, opened my eyes to the potential in the Columbia Valley and its various AVAs for Rhone varietals. I thought, if this entry-level Syrah was this good . . . . Just double-decanted it so it’s a little closed now on the nose, but the palate is soft and savory. Will update in a few hours and rate at that time.

UPDATE: it’s delicious and fully mature. Most of the fruit has been replaced by savory tertiary notes. Nose shows olive brine and delicate ash-y notes. — 3 months ago

@Tom Casagrande, while I purchased an occasional Washington State Rhone varietal(s) wines over the years, and despite some prodding from friends to buy more, I never really did, though the ones I tried with said friends were undeniably very good to outstanding. What I’m saying is my cellar has always had a hole vis-a-vis these wines, less deliberate but nonetheless missing!!

@Doug Powers - If I’m not mistaken, you live a quick drive from the Sierra Foothills, another great area for Rhone varietals, and I’ve seen you post plenty of ‘em! So you just happen to be getting your fix from another source!

Doug Powers

@Tom Casagrande, yes, we’re 45-75 minutes from most of the Sierra Foothills wineries,

9.1

Clear, deep ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of blackberries, cassis, and graphite; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of black cherries, blueberries, black cardamom and bell pepper with a long finish. This wine is complex and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — 3 months ago
