Huge nose of cherry, plum, fennel, perfume and floral notes. Powerful fruity palate of cherry, plum and black licorice, with slight hints of potting soil, black pepper and Welch's grape jelly. Perfect balance and super juicy. I can't imagine this being any better than it is now.

Really nice Walla Walla Syrah with deep, dark red fruit and attributes of earth & spice. Bold, expressive and concentrated fruit. Drinking very well right now.

Disregard previous tasting notes to the contrary; this wine is exemplary, will mature more in the coming years, and yet is drinking beautifully at the moment. I'm saddened to have now drank my last bottle. Stored at 54 degrees since purchase, decanted for 5 hours, and drank over the next 4. The wine is everything you've come to expect from a higher end Walla Walla Syrah. Drink now or hold for a few years.

(L’Ecole No 41 Estate Syrah Seven Hills Vineyard Walla Walla Valley) Leaps up from the glass with wild blueberries, game, and mineral notes. The fruit flavors are supple and refined but with a real richness with a great deal of complexity. Give 6 months. 100% Syrah. Aged 18 months in oak (40% new). 15.0% alcohol. 1,210 cases produced.

This winery continually amazes me. This syrah, in the bottle for at least 6 years, produced a fruity good show. I think I have one more!!
