Tsillan Cellars 2019 Estate Syrah, Lake Chelan $42

A decade ago, this showpiece site overlooking the south shore of Lake Chelan used a Syrah to win its first Platinum for a red wine. Here is their seventh Platinum for Syrah, proving that Tsillan Cellars ranks among the Northwest’s leading producers of Syrah. It’s a classic example of a cooler-climate approach with tones of blueberry pie, cured meat, roasted beets and a finish of licorice. Qualifying award: Wenatchee (gold)
