Sawtooth is quietly but firmly putting Idaho on the map with wines like this wallet-friendly Syrah. It’s got a depth and elegance rarely seen at this price, showing rich blueberry, blackberry, leaf and tar notes with a plush feel and supple tannins that are more than approachable and lengthen the finish. Particularly worthy of seeking out for your fly-fishing, wine-loving friends.
