title: Stevens 2009 BlackTongue Syrah (Yakima Valley)
description: Coal black, this no-holds-barred Syrah is for those who love the dark side of the grape. Flavors of smoked cherries fill the palate, which is dense and tannic. At the core is a mesh of bark, earth and graphite, but the wine retains its balance with the perfect mix of ripe tannins and natural acidity.
variety: Syrah
designation: BlackTongue
