title: Amalie Robert 2008 Satisfaction Syrah (Willamette Valley)
description: Impressively dark and showing the meaty andpeppery character of the grape, this Willamette Valley Syrah makes a good ¬argument for the viability of the grape up north. It emphasizes the flavors that are lost in a hotter climate—pepper, herb, tart berry, and juicy acidity. With alcohol at 12.3%, this sets a new standard for domestic, Euro-style Syrah.
variety: Syrah
designation: Satisfaction
