title: Syncline 2007 Steep Creek Ranch Red Red (Columbia Gorge (OR))
description: Though not yet certified, this estate vineyard is biodynamically farmed. This is the first release from these grapes. A Rhône blend (61% Syrah, 34% Grenache, 5% Mourvèdre), it's aromatically captivating, with a fascinating mix of violets and stones. The wine itself seems carved out of rock, its flavors in bas-relief. Intense raspberry and cassis, white pepper, fine length and crystalline acidity.
variety: Red Blend
