This wine is aging beautifully. Color just starting to brick at the outer rim. Laid-back nose shows warm, smoky gravel, smoked meat, rich plummy berry fruit, braised collard greens. Subtle and showing secondary flavors in the mouth, some fruit but mostly stoney, minerally notes. Soft texture, with acidity still keeping this fresh. Only 13.7%. Delicious.

Firing on all cylinders. Aromas, balance, and mouthfeels. Hit me in the feels. One of Walla Walla’s finest showing well tonight with the Valley Syrah.

Smoky and meaty aromas, balanced fruit, nice texture, enjoyed this with some free form lasagna

Violets on the nose, bursting with dark plums, dark cherries, and fine tannins on the palate. Generous acidity should make this wine very food friendly!

Again, outstanding without being over the top. While cluster ferment. Black fruit combines with annis. Delicious.

Dark and brooding. Great texture without being too heavy.
