2005 Betz Family Winery La Serenne
Syrah, Columbia Valley (WA), $50
Rating: 94
This 100% Syrah, all from the Boushey vineyard, sends up fragrances of sweet
fruit, moist earth, leaf and smoked meat. Nuanced and evocative, this changes
minute to minute in the glass. The mouthfeel can only be called voluptuous,
wrapping the generous blue and purple fruit flavors in sweet, toasty oak. The
alcohol is just under 15%, but the fruit carries it without losing some of the
detail that this outstanding vineyard can offer. Flashes of pepper and rock
continue to light up the smooth, seductive finish.
