Nefarious Syrah 2005

According to the Neff’s: This is a very structured wine, rich in blueberry, chocolate, and earth. A little fruit, a little earth, sexy on the palate, with a floral undertone from the 5% Viognier co-ferment.

What I think: This is a potent wine that we picked up during our visit to Chelan a couple months ago. We always love stopping to visit with Heather, the friendly owner of Nefarious, and have been more than happy with every wine we have tried from here. This syrah is a deep brooding purple red in color that has more weight to it than any wine since the black wines of the southern italian countryside.
