title: Amalie Robert 2011 Satisfaction Syrah (Willamette Valley)
description: A handful of Willamette Valley wineries grow Syrah, pushing the grape to an earthy, herbal style, amplified here by the cool 2011 vintage. Tart berry, leaf and herb combine in a tight, tannic midpalate. There are interesting highlights of orange peel as well, and a lingering, subtle finish.
variety: Syrah
designation: Satisfaction
