Description
From Washington wine guru Charles Smith, this Syrah comes from a 30-acre estate vineyard over 365 metres above sea level, planted in 2012. The 2014 vintage of this wine earned a score of 95 points from Tim Fish of Wine Spectator and was ranked #2 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2017 (winespectator.com, Aug. 21, 2017). Though not yet reviewed at time of publication, this 2015 will be every bit as stunning - Smith never takes a step back.

Tasting Notes
The 2016 Syrah Powerline has a more robust nose than many of the other Syrahs in the range, with an open-knit expression of blackberry jus, dark cherry compote and soft, savory aromas over a core of dusty river rock. The medium to full-bodied palate shows an approachable wine that may not last as long as the other Syrahs in the range but is ready now. The wine has a tension that delivers pleasure with depth on the long finish that ends slightly hot. Drink date: 2019-2032. Score - 93+. (Anthony Mueller, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2019)
