Saviah Cellars 2016 The Jack Syrah, Columbia Valley, $18
By Great Northwest Wine on May 29, 2018
Walla Walla’s Richard Funk continues to offer fans of Syrah a remarkable value within his entry-level tier, and while The Jack is 80 percent Syrah, it could also qualify as a GSM blend with its use of Grenache (12 percent) and Mourvèdre. That urbanity shows up in aromas of blackberry, plum and a bit of pomegranate, which are mirrored on the palate. Blackcurrant and a bit of black olive pit emerge within its tannin profile. This Syrah program earned a gold medal or better at the Cascadia International Wine Competition in 2017 and this year. Fortunately, production was increased by 26 percent for this bottling.
Rating: Outstanding!
Production: 3,234 cases
Alcohol: 14.4%
