Division Winemaking Company Gamine Syrah 2020 Review
Gamine is a project within Division Winemaking Co. focusing on grapes from France's Rhône Valley. And this Syrah captures those vibes perfectly, but with a Pacific Northwest twist, of course. The nose is full of wild berry fruit with hints pepper and herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and extremely balanced. Well-woven tannins frame the wine and notes of pine needles and herbs herbs linger on the finish.
