Aromas of blueberries, currants, smoke and a bit of oak. Blue and black fruit flavors up front, followed by some flintiness, then some oak and a bit of bright red fruit on the way to the finish. As others have noted, quite a lengthy finish. Definitely improved with time.

One of Spencer's best wines ever. Incredibly well balanced with an finish that languishes through conversation. Would pair with a steak or fish or pretty much anything you wanted to have that night.

A true super-Wallan. Combine the lush, ripe fruits of one of Spencer's syrahs with the spice of Malbec; you end up with one of the best wines I have had the privilege in which to indulge.

Possibly, the best example of what a Super-Wallan can be! Wonderful wine with a finish that does not end!

January in Walla Walla; 1/25/2013-1/27/2013 (Walla Walla, WA): Nose is currants and smoke. Flavor is primarily dark stone fruit from the Syrah with meaty notes from the Malbec.
