Washington Wine Report

By Sean Sullivan
(Betz Family Winery La Côte Rousse Red Mountain) Dark in color, almost opaque. An expressive, developed nose with pencil lead, leather, dried cherries, and floral notes. A nose to linger over a long, long time. On the taste, an exclamation point of a wine that is beautifully structured with grainy tannins. Still a fair amount of fruit on the palate but it is gently working its way to the background leaving a well-scaffolded structure. Persists seemingly endlessly on the finish.

Pop & pour. Very savory, brambly raspberry fruit, espresso, wood smoke. Had a bit of VA at first but this blew off with some air. Great structure, with tannins still showing nice and chewy. Great 10 year-old Syrah!
