The 2006 Pixie Syrah which was sourced from the Kiona Vineyard in Red Mountain. It was aged in 60% new French oak. Opaque purple-colored, the huge, brooding bouquet displays balsam wood, earth notes, smoked meat, pepper, and blueberry. Made in a no-holds-barred style, this is a slightly uncivilized, thick, dense, chewy Syrah with opulent fruit, plenty of structure, and exceptional length. At the moment, it lacks complexity so it will be fascinating to see what might evolve with 4-6 years of cellaring. Gorman Winery, owned, operated, and staffed entirely by Chris Gorman, began in 2002 and currently produces 1600 cases out of a Woodinville warehouse. Tel. (206) 351-0719; www.gormanwinery.com

This is bright, hot, spicy and (initially at least) showing some high tones that lift the flavors but also attenuate the midpalate. It’s aromatic, with sweet cherry fruit, hot and spicy tannins and enough new oak (60%) to add butter and butterscotch to the finish.——P.G.(3/1/2009)—— 90
