Columbia Crest
Grand Estates Columbia Valley Syrah
Dark, rustic red in color. Initial nose of candied nuts, berries and cedar. Forward palette was softer than expected with dark berry. Very little peppery spice. More of a baking spice. Smooth tannin finish. Lingered big vanilla bean flavors for me. Paired braised short ribs and polenta. A good drinking Syrah especially for beginners. I prefer a little more peppery earthiness in syrahs. But a good bargain for the price
