Isenhower River Beauty Syrah, Horse Heaven Hill, USA

點擊次數：3660

The outstanding Elerding vineyard provided the fruit in 2006. From the opening whiff of dried spice, fresh herb, pepper and earth, it opens into a rich palate stocked with wild fruits, moist earth, coffee grounds and leafy forest floor materials. If you enjoy your Syrah on the wild side, you will want a bottle of this.——P.G.(8/1/2009)—— 90

Isenhower changes the vineyard sources for this wine from year to year. This is the first Horse Heaven Hills version I’ve tasted, and it’s right down the heart of the plate as far as Washington Syrah is concerned. The complex mix of spice, herb and wild fruits is bolstered by peppery tannins and lively acids. A truly wonderful wine that seems both poised and racy, wild and refined. The 14.8% alcohol is in no way over the top. ——P.G.(3/1/2007)—— 92
