2003 Sequel Syrah - Longfellow Vintners

[oostexan]

Wonders seems to think that Washington is putting out pretty decent Syrah. So when my local pusher had a tasting that included a few, I made a move of faith and headed up for the tasting.

What a lovely wine. I tasted six heavy reds and this was the best one. One of the best wines that I have tasted in the past several months with lovely black fruit on the nose, then a tremendous burst of coffee and chocolate on the palate. Good structure holds it all together in a medium bodied package that has good concentration, but is not too over the top.

In short, I absolutely loved it. This wine is made by John Duval who is the winemaker for Penfolds Grange. Great wine, but very expensive at close to 60 bucks a bottle. I am still considering whether or not I stock up on it given the very competitive price range.

Sorry guys, this is Long Shadows, not Long Fellows. Yikes.
