By Sean Sullivan
(Waters Winery Forgotten Hills Syrah Walla Walla Valley) After declassifying all of the fruit from the 2008 vintage, Waters Forgotten Hills Syrah returns as a tour de force with the 2009 release. The wine leaps up from the glass with crushed violets, red fruit, smoke, braised meat, iron ore, and earthy funk. The palate is broad and textured, displaying tremendous depth and intensity along with the winery’s trademark bright acidity. Sails on and on at the finish. Quintessentially Waters; unmistakably Forgotten Hills. As good – perhaps better? – than the heralded 2007 vintage release and more than worth the wait. 100% Syrah. Aged in French oak (25% new). 14.4% alcohol. 514 cases produced.

I just love this wine. Just drank the last, so here's to hoping for more on wineBid.
V - Clear deep garnet with significant meniscus and high viscosity.
N - Ah the nose. Plum, blue, black, fig, olive along with smoked meats and leather.
P - Even more savory. Fruit is still great, with more smoke, tabacco and tar.
Full bodied. Med+ acidity, tannins. Long finish with many layers.

First of the fall set. Embrace the funk! Still drinking quite well at this point. Game, olive, backed by a nice set of dark fruit.

Still drinking quite well but clearly time to drink! Really the only Waters wine that I love. More coming in the fall.

Silky smooth, but big, bold flavor that hits and slowly retreats. The smokey spice hits first then eases into sweeter fruit. Drinking perfectly right now.
