2005 Basel Cellars Syrah Reserve Pheasant Run Vineyard - USA, Washington, Columbia Valley (5/9/2014)
Purple, ruby color, cherry and cedar nose. Dry, tart cherries, chewy tannins with just a hint of bitter. Bold body and fruit, good balance with a fruit forward emphasis. Drinking well on the second night. A lot of life left in this wine, acid on the front and tannins on the finish. Another night and this is rocking, beautiful balance with an acid emphasis, getting restrained with some age, a little Syrah spice in there with tart cherries, earth and the hint of bitter tannins. (92 pts.)
