Cristom Vineyards is one of the few estates in the Willamette Valley with Syrah plantings. The 2016 Estate Syrah is a gorgoeus showing, which takes on lovely aromas of dark fruits and smoky nuances that build in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and shows wonderful freshness, as flavors of black tea and crushed mint come together with blackberry pie and carry through the finish. This elegant Syrah is already quite impressive, and also has the potential to evove gracefully over course of the next decade.
