Hedges Family Estate, Goedhart Family Syrah, Bel'Villa Vineyard, Red Mountain, Washington State, 2015

Delicious old-vine Syrah from a family estate synonymous with Red Mountain. Ripe red cherry and dried herb aromas, then a savoury, smooth stewed plum and dark chocolate palate with a saline, stony length. Delicate weight and alcohol for such a hot vintage and well-judged oak in support.
