Red Willow Vineyard was the first in Washington, in 1986, planted with Syrah – it even has a chapel à la Hermitage and several bottles of Rhône are also buried there. Here, the Syrah shows a wonderfully vibrant expression, with pure dark raspberry, exotic spices and a savoury edge, like herb-encrusted roast lamb. The Dineen Vineyard Côt (Malbec) is another perfumed, low-alcohol wonder that scored well in our Wines of the Year.

Coming from the vineyard where the original Syrah vines went into the ground in Washington, the aromas pop, with notes of moist earth after a rain, stem, flower, green herb and blackberry bramble, along with a medicinal note. A full-flavored but still elegant palate follows, with cherry Robitussin notes on the finish. — Sean P. Sullivan
