Cadaretta, Columbia Valley (Washington) Syrah 2007

($33):  They’ve hit the mark with this full-sized Syrah–in only their second vintage.  Lush but not over ripe, it manages to capture both the meaty and black fruit sides of Syrah.  This full-bodied wine has hints of licorice and other dark flavors that suggest that it be matched with a hearty winter stew. 88 Michael Apstein Feb 9, 2010
