73. Avennia 2012 Boushey Vineyard Arnaut Syrah, Yakima Valley, $50
Chris Peterson went from Walla Walla Community College to learning from DeLille’s Chris Upchurch, and he puts that education to delicious use with one of the Northwest’s top sources for Syrah. Hints of blueberry milkshake, licorice, smoked meat and lavender turn into silky and supple flavors of Marionberry, purple plum and chalkboard dust.
