Chateau Ste Michelle, Syrah, 2017, Columbia Valley, USA

The U.S. can produce up notch wine and this Syrah from Chateau Ste Michelle in the  Columbia Valley is a good example. It’s a bold,  dry red with aromas of black fruit, oak and chocolate with earthy notes. The flavours are well integrated with softness of plum, cherry and blackberry with licorice and herb hints.

Easy drinking yet perfect with a steak and under £20 it’s a compelling wine to try.
