2007 SINGLE VINEYARD LIMITED SYRAH
Tasting notes
Deeply colored. Wow! Powerful dark, juicy aromas of sweet mincemeat, ripe blackberries and plums, dried herbs and blueberries, roses, dusty earth and toasted oak on the nose. The palate is lush, slightly sweet, very concentrated fruit and toasted oak flavors that are balanced by nice acid and the lively herbal/blueberry notes. The tannins are there but almost lost in the huge fruit.
Grapes are from Hedges Estate Vineyard High Density block. The grapes were fermented in stainless then pressed to barrel, where they completed alcoholic and malo-lactic fermentations. The wine was then 100% barrel aged about 12 months in 100% new oak consisting of 75% Hungarian and 25 % French.
Harvest Notes: 2007 was another great vintage in Washington State and the wines from Hedges reflect this with another in a recent series of outstanding wines. Mostly even temperatures and little wind and rain during bloom made for nice set. The summer was hot, but not too hot, and typical fall ripening conditions of warm days (80-85) and cool nights (45-50) began in mid-September and continued through October.
