The value-priced red wines begin with the 2008 Syrah Tulip Label. Purple in color, it exhibits pepper, earth notes, and assorted black fruits among its aromas. This is followed by a sweetly fruited, structured wine with good balance and 1-2 years of aging potential. This tasty effort can be enjoyed through 2015. Tel. (509) 627-0266

The purple-colored 2008 Syrah reveals aromas of cedar, game, plum, and blueberry. Plush and easy-going on the palate, it has ample savory fruit, good balance, and a medium long finish. It is a fairly priced effort for drinking over the next 4-5 years. Tel. (509) 627-0266; www.barnardgriffin.com

A fine expression of Washington Syrah, this is a lighter style, and therefore more detailed with subtle notes of herb, citrus, earth, tart berries and more. There is plenty of acidity, the tannins are polished into the background, and the barrel notes bring in mocha and milk chocolate flavors. Accessible and elegant, this is a fine value.——P.G.(2/1/2011)—— 91
