2022 Damsel Cellars Syrah 'MEDUSA'
Our beauty is a beast!
Vintage: 2022
Variety: 100% Syrah
Vineyard & Appellation: Discovery Vineyard, Horse Heaven Hills AVA
In 2022 we were offered Syrah from the beautiful Discovery Vineyard and we jumped at the chance to expand our Mythology wines. With a new vineyard source, you can expect to be delighted to meet Medusa, again. She’s fermented 100% whole cluster in our concrete tank, and with a bold entrance, she’ll stop you in your tracks. Ripe red and black fruit with a hint of star anise will greet you from the glass and on the palate, this mouth-coating wine shows blackberry, red plum and a manages a savory touch of dried herbs and minerality. A fine, grippy tannic structure allows the fruit to hang on the palate and prolongs the finish. Drink now through 2034.

92 points, James Suckling, JS Wine Reports - "A juicy, attractive syrah with ripe red and dark berries, dried orange peel, spices and dusty soil. Medium-bodied, textured and sleek on the palate with delicious fruit in the middle. Dusty, mineral finish.
