Fruity nose of blackberries, sweet plums, cooked cherries, earth, oak, spices, licorice, peppercorn, coffee, chocolates, alcohol and light earth.
Full bodied with medium acidity and smooth.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, earth, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, spices, light medicine and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Syrah from Yakima Valley. Big and fruit forward, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
This 7 year old from the great 2014 vintage is drinking very nicely now. Drink in the next 5 years.

Good right out of the bottle, very tasty and good by itself. A good porch wine, too.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses by the lake.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$37.

Dark inky in color with a short purple rim.

full and powerful, black hues, aromas of cedar, somewhat rough. The style seems heavy and hot.

Improved from a year ago...or maybe it just hit the spot after a two hour commute.

Drank over four days (slacker). Kind of big upfront, but never really came together. Over the days it unraveled to simply purple and heat. Yum!
