2022 Syrah - Prima Donna
Syrah amped up on 11% Viognier cofermentation. Is she a drama queen? Perhaps. But oh, what delicious drama.
Silver, SavorNW Wine Awards (85 points)
The Prima Donna approaches carrying a tray of caramelized treats, including toffee and marshmallows. But then as you continue chatting, you notice she’s also very suave and colorful, with a smooth demeanor full of plums. She’s clearly got a spicy backstory, though, one colored with eucalyptus, allspice and orange rind. Not your usual restrained Syrah, she’s full of excitement.
Smooth/full-bodied; medium body, medium acid, medium tannins. Brighter, redder fruit than a typical Syrah, spicy notes from VI. Toasty notes from oak.
