Brock and Erica Lindsay continue to build upon the success that prompted us to name their Lake Chelan project as the 2018 Washington Winery to Watch, and this Syrah from Candy Mountain Vineyards serves as another example of their special touch with Rhône varieties, marked by their Platinum for Viognier this year, too. Its lovely dark red profile conjures up thoughts of black cherry and boysenberry jam, backed by a tremendous frame of structure that leaves room for violets, black peppercorns and sexy leather. One judge described it simply as “killer stuff.” Qualifying award: Wenatchee (gold)
