A dandy WA Syrah

[Bucko]

1999 Hedges, Syrah, Sagemoor Farms, Columbia Valley, Washington, $32. Currently made in tiny amounts, the Syrah is only sold at the winery and tasting room. The wine has a full, rich nose of jammy berries and plums. Lush and creamy on the palate and bursting with fruit and sweet oak flavors, you’ll find satiny tannins on the long aftertaste. A nice American expression of the grape. 91/89.
