Dark, smoky and chewy, this young, tannic effort could stand in for any good Walla Walla Syrah from a dozen different producers. It is a testament to the quality of Washington Syrah; but also an example of the sameness that plagues many of them. There is a nice core of juicy boysenberry, and beyond that it’s all about roasted coffee, bitter chocolate and toast. ——P.G.(6/1/2006)—— 88
