Acclaim Summary

"Velvety, round and generous with its rich blueberry, plum and sweet spice aromas and flavors, firmly tannic but open-textured enough to let the fruit shine through on the long finish. Drink it with a juicy chunk of meat. "
92 Points. "Smooth and smoky... it's got staying power and a silky, voluptuous mouthfeel."
Silver Medal Winner
" Taking advantage of grapes from Pepper Bridge and Seven Hills, both estate vineyards for this Walla Walla winery, this Syrah is loaded with aromas of blueberries and sage. The well-structured palate is rich in jammy blackberries and plums, as well as dark chocolate. "
90 Points. "Intense, persistently flavorful black fruit notes are this wine's most prominent feature... Evidence of impressive prowess in grape growing and winemaking as the structural elements of acidity, tannin and wood are very nicely tuned."
