Avennia Arnaut Boushey Vineyard Syrah 2019

The 2019 Syrah Arnaut is the tenth edition of this wine, which utilizes 100% Boushey vineyard fruit from the Yakima Valley. The nose is deep and concentrated, presenting iodine alongside ripe blackberry cordial, tar, white pepper and black licorice tones. Rich and layered in the mouth, with a beautiful texture, this shows outstanding length and a glorious core of dark fruits with bacon fat and chocolate undertones. Drinking window: [Now]-2035. Score – 95. (Dr. Owen Bargreen, vinous.com, March 2022)
