title: Charles Smith 2008 Royal City Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: An Amaro-like mix of bitters and herbs; this is exceptionally dense and dark. The fruit is a grace note; the big flavors come from herb, earth, rock, barrel and more. Licorice, baking spices, smoke, black cherry, Bourbon barrel, and on it goes. Huge and dense and seemingly endless.
variety: Syrah
designation: Royal City
