Maison Bleue Liberte Boushey Vineyard Syrah Yakima Valley 2010

Rating: *****

Price: $40

An aromatically complex wine with dark plum, mineral, huckleberry, currant, floral notes, licorice, and orange peel. The palate is arresting with rich, incredibly concentrated, pure, textured flavors of pomegranate, plum, and pepper, and a finish that persists for nearly a minute. This is a spectacular, mouthful of a wine that only ramps up in intensity as it opens up in the glass and will aged for as long as you care to keep it. As good as the winery has made to date and one of the best wines I've had this year. 100% Syrah. Fermented with approximately 30% whole berries. Aged 10 months in one to two year old French oak. 14.5% alcohol. 200 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.
