Luke Wines Syrah 2017
Wahluke Slope, Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesWashington syrah is seldom shy, and the Luke edition is as full bodied as they come. The nose is a riot of pepper, licorice, sweet dark fruit, and chocolate. The attack is no less timid with similar flavours and power through a fully ripe finish. It is a mountain of wine for those who love big, ripe, round, soft syrah with sweet tannins. Definitely more of the New World style, packing a lot of power and oak. There will be a rush to drink this as it is, but we would wait and hope for more complexity to emerge as the fruit and oak dissipate. Time will tell, but 2018 is considered one of the best years in Washington wine in the last decades.Tasted: 19 December 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $43.99 | 750ml | estimated retail in select private wine shops |
