Syrah 2021

93 Points, Paul Gregutt, "I wish there were more Umpqua wineries making Syrah (Reustle is another one that has had good success with Syrah). The grape certainly deserves a home here, as it has found in the Rogue Valley. This is loaded with savory highlights; the compact palate mixes crushed berries, plums, coffee grounds, chicory and cinnamon. Released a year ago it’s in prime drinking condition and should be enjoyed over the rest of the decade. "; 90 Points, James Suckling, "This is a medium-bodied wine with a nice balance between pretty and savory notes, featuring aromas of black pepper, toast, blackberries and violets. The palate leans more towards raspberry and cherry flavors. The tannins are assertive and slightly astringent, but they would pair nicely with some cured meats. Drink now."
