title: Des Voigne Cellars 2008 Montreux Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: A somewhat volatile nose introduces a wine that has a powerfully oaky flavor, perhaps from the 30 months it spent in 50% new American barrels. It seems a bit overdone, and the fruit heads into dry, pruny flavors. It is seemingly already past its prime.
variety: Syrah
designation: Montreux
