By Sean Sullivan
(Proper Wines Syrah Walla Walla Valley) An aromatically complex wine that pops with an almost endless list of aromas including orange peel, earth, olive brine, smoked meat, earthy funk, ash and chocolate. This is a wine you can just sit and smell with total satisfaction. The palate is restrained and understated but perfumed with orange peel, earth, and savory flavors leading to an extended, peppery, savory finish. Brings a real sense of the freshness of the 2010 vintage and a distinct sense of place. Among the more exciting wineries to enter the stage this year and a complete steal at this price. 100% Syrah. Aged 16 months in 20% new French oak. 13.7% alcohol. Approximately 450 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.

The last of our 2010s and probably we could/should have waited more on this one. We had a bunch of Washington state from this era and my takeaway is they had a lot more time available. These are closer to 20-25 year wines than 10-15 but what can you do. Still enjoyable and gamey and darker and more intense. Drinks well though.

Cork in good condition. No sediment. Slight bricking. Decanted 45 minutes. Slightly flat on night one — where’s the fruit? Mostly earthy notes. Second night was much more complete, the fruit had materialized and finish was rounder and more filled in. Maybe just needed a longer decant. Score reflects night 2.

My final bottle from the first year I collected this wine. I agree that it is time to drink your remaining bottles if you like a fruit component along with a bit of mushroom that is developing.
