Washington Wine Report

By Sean Sullivan
(Syncline Cellars Subduction Red Columbia Valley) Fairly light in color. An aromatic nose that is initially Grenache-driven with red fruit, particularly raspberries, strawberries, and red currant, along with a dusting of earth. As it opens up, violets, berries, and traces of game emerge. A light bodied, acid-driven wine that dances along the palate. A slightly saline taste. Almost shockingly restrained with barely a trace of oak. Loses a bit of its rhythm about 2/3 of the way through but comes back together. Lingers a bit tartly on the finish. A lot of wine for the money and a perfect wine to pair with food. 26% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 24% Cinsault, 12% Mourvedre, 9% Counoise, 4% Carignan. Aged in 5-10% new oak. 14.1% alcohol. 1,770 cases produced. Recommended.

Good BBQ wine, peppery and fruity with light smooth tannins.

Not what I expected, but I was still a big fan. Electric ruby colour, bright fruit, and a surprisingly silky medium body considering the blend (mainly Grenache/Syrah/Cinsault, around 25% of each). Not heavy, not hot, but instead energetic and easy to drink. I would buy again for sure.

Popped and poured. Opaque maroon color. Pretty expressive nose of cherries and spice. Cherries and plenty of pepper on the palate. I wasn't expecting much & was pleasantly surprised by this wine. A pretty good entry level wine from Syncline, very Cote du Rhone-like..

Hopefully it was just this bottle, but it had gone a bit sulfery. Drinkable, but not something I'd be proud to share with friends.
