A top quality syrah for less than $40 is somewhat of a unicorn in Washington, but that’s exactly what we have here. Winemaker Jamie Brown is always one to buck convention. Here, he chooses fruit from three top sites Old Stones, Patina, and Olsen and eschews the increasingly common approach of fermenting syrah with grape stems to increase acid and add tannin. Smoked meat, olive, blueberry, orange peel, and flower aromas give way to soft, plush feeling fruit flavors that carry on the finish. Seattle Met
