I called Bordeaux blend but new world. It is mostly mouvedre which was surprising. Then Grenache and only 3% Syrah. Liked it a lot, just a bit surprising. — 4 months ago

2002. Wow. Beautiful and elegant. Only 10% abv according to the label but I’d guess higher. Petrol, honey, Corn Pops cereal, dill, mandarin oranges, golden raisin. This is amazing. — 5 months ago

Quintessential Syrah from Columbia Valley. Spiced, stewed blueberry notes in otherwise dark dry fruit.

This is WAY better than the 9.0 ratings I’m seeing. And day 3 is showing decent as well. — 2 months ago
80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Syrah. Rocks District Fruit. Dark red/purple color. Expressive aromas of black cherry and crushed stones. The palate is more plum fruit driven with additional notes of roasted herbs, Earl Grey tea and baking spices. Touch of vanilla on the long and velvety finish. Wonderfully balanced. With a bit of aeration, this wine is remarkably refined yet still quite muscular. Well crafted. — 5 months ago

Really good Syrah. Wahluke slope always delivers. With some air this wine opened up beautifully. — 3 days ago
