Lobo Hills Wine Co. 2013 Syrah-Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $35
Woodinville winemaker Tony Dollar, a product of the Bay Area, deepened his relationship with StoneTree Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope for this bottling, and he legally he could have labeled this as a straight Syrah because it accounts for 80% of the blend. However, he chose to include Cabernet Sauvignon from MonteScarlatto for Red Mountain power. Dollar shows restraint during those 22 months in 40% new French oak barrels as aromas of fresh blueberry and black cherry lead to a bright and ripe blend of boysenberry and blueberry flavors. There’s a bit of crunch to the nicely managed structure of espresso-like tannins.
