| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.6 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 17 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by vinoceros on 2/24/2011 & rated 89 points: Really has come along nicely the last couple of years. The oak is really minimal. Blackberry jam and other fruit. (2498 views) | | | Tasted by kennyg on 1/23/2010 & rated 91 points: Opaque purple. Mild spice, full month feel, good balance. Very enjoyable syrah that will benefit from a little more cellar time (2741 views) | | | Tasted by Justin B on 12/23/2009 & rated 89 points: Took about 15 minutes to open up in the glass. Nice rich nose of plums and a taste of blackberries. Well made and fairly smooth as now is a good time to drink this '04. Seemed a bit thin or too medium-bodied for a syrah though... didn't get much spice that I typically like in a syrah. (2805 views) | | | Tasted by K_Street_NW on 12/3/2009 & rated 92 points: Nice! Blueberry pie and blackberry jam assault the palate, what a great wine. Couldn't get enough. Would have much preferred to drink it with a rib eye steak and a chocolate dessert or a pie of some sort (instead of by itself). This is a gvreat wine I wish I had more of. (2742 views) | | | Tasted by vinoceros on 12/24/2008 & rated 88 points: This one needs to be decanted or allowed to breathe a while. I couldn't pick up any distinct flavors until a couple hours in. Then, chocolate, dark berries and oak. (2814 views) | | | Tasted by Frodnesor on 1/23/2008 & rated 90 points: Very full-bodied, robust syrah, deep wild cherry flavors with a good bit of earth, riding the line between deeply flavored and rustic. Will revisit on day 2. (1533 views) |
| Syrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board) |
