Andrew Rich Syrah "Prometheus" 08

The first vintage of Andrew's Syrahs under the "Prometheus" moniker.

The Prometheus Syrah is a blend of fruit from three vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills and two on Red Mountain. Andrew's Syrah is a deft blending of the ripe, New World fruit with a Rhône-like aroma and definition.

Previous Vintage Tasting Notes

2005 Vintage Tasting Notes

Andrew Rich Syrah 05 - One of the more classic Northwest Syrahs made. Formerly with Bonny Doone Winery, Andrew has an affinity for the grapes of the Rhone that shows in his Syrah. Smokey black fruit and pepper--yum!

"Our 05 Syrah blends fruit from five different vineyards-two on Red Mt. and three in the Horse Heaven Hills-so perhaps it's that added complexity (or something) that makes this year's Syrah so approachable in youth. Blackberries and other dark fruit swirl enticingly on the nose, with just a hint of pepper, toast, and black olive. The mid-palate is soft and quite lush, with a framework of tannin that seems to melt in the mouth."

"The wine is lively - that's the acidity talking - rather than ponderous, making it a great partner for rich fall and winter dishes. I'll have the lamb, please. Medium rare." - Andrew
