Barnard Griffin Syrah 2005
Syrah/Shiraz
from Columbia Valley, Washington
winemaker's notes:
Due to a warm vintage, this wine gained great color and dramatic structure. The aromas of the 2005 are intense and very ripe with a background note of spicy toasted French oak. Scents of plums, blackberries and violets are dominant. The flavors are dark and rich on the palate following through with the dark fruit theme. This wine is soft in its tannins but balanced with good acidity.
