As all bottles before, this is an exceptional wine at an affordable price. I am surprised how under the radar Scott’s wines still are. Every wine in the portfolio I’ve sampled are excellent and masterfully made.

Purchased without tasting from the tasting room in Selah, Wa.
This syrah presents a bouquet of black peppercorns, currants, aniseed and ripe juicy blackberry pie. Also showing secondary scents of savory pork belly fat and desert sage. Plush black fruit flavors, black currant, crushed rock and flowing graphite. Initially bordered on slightly hot, which dispersed after an hour of aeration. Well balanced with flawless acidity. As this continued to open up- secondary notes of tart blackberry compote and loam were revealed. Finish is silken and expanded for a full two minutes. 92+
(I wish I had bought a case of this-it is perfect now with 1-2 hours of slow ox. For $25, this feels like extortion!)

Pop and pour. Seemed to improve after an hour of air. Blueberry, earth, raspberry, and a little clove on the nose. Blueberry, blackberry, spice, earth, and vanilla on the palate. Good acidity. Decent finish. Overall a nice, balanced wine. After a few days the acidity was a bit too sharp and unbalanced. 88-89

Still holding up well in 2020, with a fine blend of savory and berry elements. A great value in syrah.
