One of the most decorated Syrahs from the 2018 vintage turned into Tsillan Cellars’s fifth Platinum for Syrah — a decade after Dr. Bob Jankelson claimed his first with his 2008 Lakeside Vineyard Reserve Syrah. It’s no doubt a tasting room charmer with its juicy blackberry and black cherry persona that comes with toast, cinnamon and nutmeg — a spice component that rings all the way through the lengthy finish. Awards: Great Northwest Invitational (double gold), North Central Washington (double gold), Bellingham Northwest (double gold).
