I laid this wine down in the cellar for a while now, thought it was time. Drinking this 2008 in 2022, it was surprising just how fresh it still was. Aged, certainly, with some bricking in color, but plenty of acidity to hold on for this amount of time. Tannins were crazy soft by this point. I really hope more WV producers embrace cool-climate syrah, and let it age like this. A great wine.
