title: Gamache 2008 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: As Washington-grown Syrah takes the national spotlight, this entry from Gamache should be on everyone's radar. It's a very well-made example of  the classic Washington style, with a bright mix of berry, composted earth, licorice and black tea, backed with citrusy acids. Moderate in density, despite relatively high alcohol, it's good for drinking over the next five years.
variety: Syrah
