    Devison 2019 Above the Flood Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

    This is a blend of Grenache (48%), Syrah (34%) and Mourvèdre (18%), coming from top sites that include Yakima Valley stalwart Boushey Vineyard. The aromas leap out of the glass, with notes of orange rind, flower, marionberry, blueberry, iron and smoked meat, showing a lot of range and complexity. Full-bodied flavors coat the palate from end to end, with the fruit front and center. A long finish caps it off. It's flat-out delicious, with the enjoyment as much about feel as flavor. Give it an extended decant if drinking in the near term and drink it cool to see it at its best. It will have many years of great drinking in front of it.
