Rich and viscous, but had a dry short finish, cellared well, tight, dumb or done, not sure.

Aged nicely, improved with decanting for 30-60 minutes. Consumed with organic grass-fed beef burger, brought out nice mild spiciness of wine.

Consistent with prior notes, opened up nicely over several hours.

This exceptionally well made syrah submits caramelized fennel, racy spiced plums, blackberry, smoked cherry and molasses scents. The palate offers unyielding density, complex red fruit, rehydrated cherries, sassafras and earthy depth. Finish is powerful, elegant and refined. Tight as a snare drum, this soft and silky syrah will yield many years of pleasure.

Brownish-purple, opaque, with slow, fat legs. Nose of buttered cinnamon rolls, grass, and alcohol. Palate of purple fruit, minerals, full-bodies with good acidity. Q92/D89

Solid Syrah that needed an hour to decant. Not as big and bold or spicy as I would think this Syrah should be from Wahluke slope and it didn't last on the back palate very long, but had nice flavors of blackberry jam and subdued spice.

Wine really improved significantly after being open for a couple of hours. Great fruit and berry flavors and a bit smokey.

Pepper and dark fruit. Somewhat earthy. 3rd and final bottle of this. Would probably cellar well for a few more years but at under $20, this is tough to hold long term.

Very nice. Initially dark fruit and pepper aromas mixed with a ton of earth/leather/tobacco. Started off with harsh tannins, but mellowed out after a bit. For a while it actually kind of went dumb, but then after a bit more air its complexity and interesting flavours came back. Predominantly ripe raspberry/blackberry and cracked pepper. To me it's an excellent cool climate syrah.

Take notes with a slight grain of salt, I'm slightly stuffy and won't get all the tastes and smells to be expected. On the nose: jammy, a bit of heat, not unpleasant but it tinges the nostrils. Tastes kind of plain. Pretty fruit forward and could maybe use another year or two in the bottle to take the edge off. No noticeable mid, but a rather long lasting finish albeit ... subdued. The heat is there but rather unnoticeable, it …

Really dense core of stone fruit, with a touch of Yakima sweetness. Some leather, very light oak, but intensely full of flavor. Very good with pizza. When served at the right temperature (55F), this is exactly what WA state Syrah should be.

A wonderful complex syrah with creamy red fruits and a meat and mineral. Nice long finish and a great price. $23.99 OH Retail www.austinbeeman.com
