Genesis Syrah

Washington Syrah exhibits dark, juicy fruit character, brilliant color, a complex varietal gaminess and a relatively low tannin level. Rich, dark fruits define the 2009 vintage: blackberry, cherry, and dark currant with complex hints of wild game, nutmeg, and vanilla. A clean, crisp wine, this Syrah pairs well with rosemarymustard glazed lamb chops, cherry-lacquered ribs, and pan-fried duck breast.
