A dark and brooding wine on the nose, showing primary aromas of fresh blackberries, Italian plum, and Teriyaki beef jerky. Secondary aromatics of anise, tarragon, black pepper, violets, and seared lamb. The Walla Walla Syrah has an umami characteristic that quickly gives it a sense of place. A mouth-coating palate, precise tannins, and a long finish with enough acidity to balance the overall weight of the wine. It starts with pure black fruit and reveals a gamey and peppery finish. Classic Walla Walla Syrah profile: combining the fruit of the New World with the earth of the Old World.

Blend: 97% Syrah, 3% Viognier

Refined and well-built, with a lively core of acidity and tannins that give focus to handsome blackberry, olive and smoked meat flavors, which finish on a firm note. Drink now.

Aromatically lifted, the 2017 Walla Walla Syrah bursts with purple flowers, lavender, spiced plum, blackberries and black pepper with a subtle smoky flavor, dried herbs and wet river rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is nimble but offers layers of complexity with flavors of dusty dark cherry, black raspberry chutney and black pepper, showing a balanced structure with a dustiness at its heart. The wine delivers pleasure with lingering spice tones through the food-friendly finish, ending with lively tension and a seductive floral tone.
