October 30, 2015 - If someone had handed me this wine and I didn't know what it was, I would have bet it came from the southern Rhone region. Evokes dark berries and baking spices (cloves, all-spice). It struck me as being very CdP like. A real pleasure to drink and I love that Syncline is making wine like this in WA state, and that I can buy some across the river in NYC. Cheers!

October 5, 2014 - Well said, Anthony Lombardi. This is a wine you could easily fall in love with. Agreed, James Mantone absolutely has it figured out.

August 22, 2014 - It's worth noting that the 2012 version is called Carignan- Grenache as it is 64/36% respectively . The wine drinks like a top tier Priorat. The red fruit of the Grenache emerges on the mid palate , but the dark notes of the Carignan as well as the high acidity & firm tannins add lovely balance.
Syncline just flat out understands this kind of wine. A Carignan heavy blend could be rough in the wrong hands, but they pull all the good stuff from this grape & blend just enough Grenache for the bright underpinning this needs. Absolutely get some.1 person found this helpful Comment
