In a beautiful spot, Deep black raspberry, seamless silky tannins, and a very long peppery finish. Probably at peak, but still has a few more years at least too. Glad I waited on this, and more glad I still have a couple more.

This suffered from my high expectations. Not terrible by any means, but disappointing considering the producer and fruit source. Flavors were one-dimensional. Lacked acidity and vibrancy. I’m guessing this peaked 2-3 years ago.

(Efeste Jolie Bouche Syrah Boushey Vineyard Yakima Valley) An aromatic wine chock full of fresh raspberries and blackberries along with light herbal tones and black and green olive. The palate has an incredible sense of vibrancy and freshness, full of tart fruit flavors that draw out across the palate leading to a lingering finish. 100% Syrah. Boushey Vineyard (Factory Road Block). Aged 15 months in French oak (17% new). 14.92% alcohol. 571 cases produced.

Better showing than last bottle 6 months ago. Pleasant syrah flavors, but lacking in complexity or other interest.

Wine showed very well right out of the bottle. after airing for a half hour i did feel the fruit was a bit lost. Would drink others soon.
