Latitude 46 N. 2003 Syrah-- The Power and the Glory

This is the wine we were talking about during dinner the other night. The Brewers, Olivers and my aunt and uncle shared this at a restaurant on Bainbridge Island, WA. The title sounded a little "unmodest" so we had to try it. It did not disappoint. I can't recall the specifics since I have not made any tasting notes, but it was great. I had a fish with a berry glaze and it went perfectly with it. Here's one online review I found: "A very deep and intense WA syrah. Dark and opaque colour, lots of intense blueberry and blackberry fruit -some herbal garrigue notes, but very fruit driven on the nose. Nicely balanced on the palate, intense fruit - more blueberry and currants, with decent currant acidity and soft dry tannins. Probably would have been better in a few years, but with a nice grilled rib eye, this was a very good match."


I have two bottles from a stash I found in a local store here. $35 per bottle, but worth it if you can find it. Web site is www.Latitude46.com. Nothing on there but contact info, though. I searched for a label to post, but had no luck.
