Avennia 2011 Boushey Vineyard Arnaut Syrah, Yakima Valley
Great Northwest Invitational Wine Competition award: Best Syrah
Woodinville, Wash., winemaker Chris Peterson excels with reds, particularly Syrah. He brought in grapes from famed Boushey Vineyard north of Grandview, Wash., for this superb red. Aromas of blackberry, loganberry and fresh venison combine with bold but refined blackberry, red plum and blueberry flavors. The lush fruit carries through from the front to the back of the palate, closing with a nice touch of minerality.
