Eleven Winery 2005 Alder Creek Vineyard Syrah

Appellation: Horse Heaven Hills

Matt Albee's operation on Bainbridge Island near Seattle continues to earn accolades. This vineyard-designate greets with aromas of pomegranate, cherry vanilla, acai berry and showy oak. On the palate, it's what you'd expect from a Washington Syrah with its blackberry shake structure with a tug of tannin and a dash of black pepper in the finish. Rated "Outstanding" by Wine Press Northwest magazine.

Price: $24.

Cases produced: 171.

Food matches: Pair this elegant yet robust red with duck, lamb or sweetbreads.

Eleven Winery, 278 Winslow Way E., Bainbridge Island, WA 98110, 206-842-4669, http://www.elevenwinery.com
