January 28, 2024 - Medium ruby red, scorched flowers, bacon and beef notes, smoke, pepper and spices. Wonderful in your face Syrah that you gotta be in the mood for. Loads of flavors here. Awesome wine.
October 24, 2021 - Delicious young Washington Syrah with typical fermented manure, licorice, dried raspberry. Very youthful with ferocious but accessible tannins. I like these but many don't.
June 3, 2021 - Billiet's Sexy Syrah's (Billiets Abode): Nose of bitter chocolate, dark fruits and some tree bark. Some grainy tannins on the palate. Decent wine overall. Group 4/6 (my 5/6).
April 12, 2021 - Opened far too young, but surprisingly drinkable with just a short time in the glass. Massive savoury earth flavored - olive brine, peppercorns, tilled soil, roasted herb - to go with the boysenberry/blackberry fruits and snappy acidity. Oak and tannins are well balanced. Those holding have nothing to worry about, this is going to be a long-lived wine. 93/94+
December 19, 2020 - K Syrahs never disappoint.
September 20, 2020 - Bought futures a year ago, and just received 6 bottles. Classic Walla Walla Syrah on the nose, lacking the gamey character present in many of these. Pencil shavings, black currant, lavender. Quite tannic of course. Very complex, will cellar remaining bottles for several years.
