(Kevin White Winery En Hommage' Syrah Olsen Estates Vineyard Yakima Valley) An aromatically complex wine with violets, blueberry, boysenberry, white pepper, crushed gravel, and tar with a light meaty streak after the wine opens up. The palate is soft and subtle, on the lighter side of medium bodied with a velvety feel with pure red and blue fruit flavors that draw out and lingers on a cranberry filled finish. An intriguing and thoroughly delicious bottle of wine that straddles the Old World and the New. Give six months. 100% Syrah. Olsen Vineyard. Aged 15 months in neutral French oak. 14.9% alcohol. 100 cases produced.

Fuul throttle extracted syrah. Dark fruit and a bit of underbrush. Solid but not especially interestimg. Drink or hold.

Very spicy nose, lots of pepper. A bit earthy, a some raspberry hidden in there.
The fruit shines more in the mouth, plumb, blackberry, raspberry jam, with a dash of black pepper.

Opened after a 2005 Pirouette ... while it couldn't quite match that level of achievement, it was still a nice drinker in its own right.
