"Best Washington Syrah" April/2009

2009 Washington Wine Award Winners

Best Syrah (tie)

Gramercy Cellars 2006 John Lewis, Walla Walla Valley ($65)
This special 100 percent Syrah was made from the best of 35 barrels of Syrah that owner and winemaker Greg Harrington had available from the 2006 vintage. It is lighter in color than most big, dark Washington Syrahs, and more subtle and focused in flavor, with minterality, smoke and meat along with blueberrry and blackberry fruit.
