Genesis Syrah

Winery: Hogue Genesis

The Genesis Syrah is selected from specific vineyards to emphasize luscious fruit and depth of color. The 2002 vintage was exceptional; resulting in a wine with bright red cherry and raspberry aromas augmented by oak notes of cedar and cinnamon toast. On the palate, it is very fruity and is reminiscent of currants with a strawberry essence that lingers, along with a bit of cinnamon spice, charred mesquite, and cherry wood. The structure is subtle yet firm. Pair with stuffed manicotti in marinara sauce or pasta dishes served with a sweet or spicy red sauce.

WPNW Review (Spring 2001): 1999 vintage: "This beautifully dark syrah is graceful and flawless on the nose. It has delightful dark fruit flavors, including plum, blackberry and dark cherry melded with vanilla. The balance of fruit, oak, tannin and alcohol is outstanding. Won double gold at the Central Washington State Fair.
