Great Washington state syrah from someone that drinks a LOT of them. Depth rarely seen, heft to match. Interestingly, I wasn't wild about their Cab and sorta dismissed the syrah. Luckily, I just found some 2008 available. Really, really good.
Dark ruby with purple tint, red berry nose. One hour open time, dry dusty tart cherries. Light body and fruit, but very nice with light tannins on the finish.

(Tulpen Cellars Syrah Columbia Valley) Fascinating aromas of mineral, ground coffee, floral notes, plum, and blackberries. Rich and opulent with palate coating fruit flavors with silky oak accents. This is a rich, ripe wine that takes no prisoners. Alcohol shows through at times. 76% Syrah, 15% Grenache, 5% Viognier, and 4% Mourvedre. Mill Creek, Lewis, Double River, and Art Den Hoed vineyards. 15.4% alcohol. 257 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.

Decanted 1 hour. Nice dark purple color, great peppery nose, with blackberry fruit, black pepper and a touch of violets.
