Pretty good, but a little bit on the sweet side for me. I found that aspect overwhelmed some of the others early on. Not sure I'd pay $22 for this again.

First night with roast lamb with a maple chipotel sauce. The syrah in the blend was just the thing to go with this rich a dish. The next night was with 3 different polentas, one of mac & cheese. Again, the pairing was excellent. The fruit in this wine holds up great with rich dishes. I'd definitely get this again.

Too sweet which overpowers the variety of fruit flavors that could be better presented in this bottle. Fades, however, after a day and doesn't just taste of vanilla. Admittedly, Washington Syrah is not our style— so rich and always tasting of blueberry.

Have to get myself some more of this. Deep dark nose and flavors. The syrah component really shines through. But with the other elements it doesn't need to age quite as long as I typically like my Walla Walla syrah. Would purchase again.

Wow! What do we have here! A bottle of high-octane, pure Walla Walla pleasure. Just a bit of heat and no structure for it to improve on, but a fantastic syrah/merlot/cab blend that I would buy again and again to consume on an annual basis. Very nice!

On first taste without food it was a little harsh. With food it really opened up and was very enjoyable.

Really rich and delicious, with just a hint of sweetness. Works as a cocktail wine but has enough acidity to pair well with food too. Yum.

Drank over two days. Did not show as well as previous bottles. Kind of flat.
