title: Balboa 2008 Mirage Vineyard Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: This nicely captures the complexity and earthiness of Washington Syrah, without becoming too heavy. Raspberry fruit is backed by earthy flavors and peppery herb, nicely integrated with nothing obtrusive. This is not the sweet and jammy style of Syrah you find in California, but it has a lot to offer if you give it a good look.
variety: Syrah
designation: Mirage Vineyard
