2008 Darby, The Dark Side, Columbia Valley, Syrah
I love Syrah, especially Washington State Syrah. Like most red wines, yes the color was red. Nose was sound with notes of coffee, chocolate and light hints of a green shrub that I could not pick out. On the palate though this bitch was HUGE with spices and dried herbs. The tip of my tongue blew up with black pepper and fire. A bit much for me but a nice wine. To much alcohol though. What happened to the days when wine was around 11-12%?
