Structure Cellars, Columbia Valley (Washington) Syrah “Bauhaus” 2022 ($29)

Located in the SoDo district of Seattle, Structure Cellars is known for their big, powerful Washington wines. The 2022 Bauhaus Syrah blends Syrah from Olsen, Stillwater, Boushey, and Frenchman Hills vineyards, all four of which are known for their top-tier fruit. Bauhaus’s powerful dark fruit, ranging from blackberry to acai berry, is supported by oak, providing cedar, cocoa, and sweet tobacco notes. This Syrah is a clear demonstration of what Washington fruit can provide in terms of both power and complexity.
