Obelisco Estate 2008 Les Gosses Vineyard Syrah (Red Mountain)
- $30
A beautiful nose shoots up seductive aromas of herb and berry, lightly touched with barnyard in the most inviting way. A young wine, from young vines, it expresses itself more in the aromas than in the finish. But the balance is elegant and refined, the flavors full and earthy, the style reminiscent of other European-influenced Washington Syrahs such as Gramercy.
