Tasting notes
Sourced from the Boushey Vineyard, the 2020 Syrah Boushey Vineyard Arnaut opens with classic Syrah characteristics, exuding rich and spicy aromatics of dark red fruits, herbs and floral potpourri, with a hint of gentle oak spices. The medium to full-bodied palate presents a delicate mineral tension and a spicy core of fresh red fruit flavors. Concluding with a balanced finish and a persistent tannic edge, this gorgeous Syrah begs me to finish the glass. Aged for 16 months in 15% new French oak, this beauty will continue to deliver pleasure for years to come.

All varietal from a great vineyard in the Yakima Valley, the 2020 Syrah Arnaut Boushey Vineyard offers a perfumed, complex nose of mulled red and black berries, peppery, savory herbs, and some meaty, iron-like nuances. This complex, medium to full-bodied beauty has fine tannins, a layered, elegant mouthfeel, and a gorgeous finish.
Pretty violet and blue-toned florals introduce the 2020 Syrah Arnaut Boushey Vineyard, as notes of blackberry and crushed rocks form in the glass. There's a pleasant inner sweetness up front, as silken textures wash ripe red and blue fruits across the palate. The 2020 finishes with wonderful length and framing tannins that perfectly complement the ripe wild berries that linger.
The 2020 Syrah Boushey Vineyard offers lots of smoky black fruits, violets, and charcoal notes in a medium-bodied, slightly smoky, meaty style that still has fine tannins.
