Alexandria Nicole
Block 17 Estate Grown Destiny Ridge Vineyards Syrah
Horse Heaven Hills, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
This is a very tasty, Northern Rhône style Syrah from Horse Haven Hills in Washington state.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward.
Showing black fruits with light oak, vegetables, herbs, chocolates, coffee, tobacco leaf, spices and peppercorn.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Still young and needs a year or two in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Nicely balanced with nice complexity. Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.
Good by itself as a sipping wine.
Syrah grapes were aged in (29% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.
14.4% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$45.
