2010 Efeste Syrah Ceidleigh Red Mountain
Inky black and blue fruit, road tar, garrique, oil-cured black olives, bay leaf, fennel--a perfect blend of old world notions on new world fruit. Outstanding at 12 years out. Savored every sip.
This is the kind of Washington syrah I'd have loved to provided to Dale for his recent tasting. This would show what Washington's capable of in the best way possible.
