Half Grenache and half Syrah, from Boushey and Upland, two of Yakima Valley’s best vineyards. You rarely find fruit this good in a wine in this price range. Tart and sappy, bursting with raspberry and pie cherry tang, this well-crafted blend saw only neutral oak. Finishes with just the right hint of earth and dark chocolate. ——P.G.(9/1/2011)—— 90
