  Wow, what a surprise - this is still alive! Huge fruit nose, but not overwhelming like say a Mollydooker would be. Big red and blue fruit, and balanced though high acid. Very pleasant through and leaves a lingering fruity finish.

  Drank with beef, yam and salad. Everyone was impressed with this wine. Yumm-eeee! Just as impressed the next day. More!!!!
  The wine looks Violet colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Prune, Raisin, and Strawberry Jam. It tastes like Chrysanthemum, Honeysuckle, Rose, Cedar, Oak, and Butterscotch.

  Soooo smooth. Underlying chocolate, smoke and lively pepper finish. The glasses emptied so quickly and everyone gave it the WOTN hands down. One of the best Washington Syrah wines we have ever had and we are from Washington. Still can't get over the addition of Vionier. Would never have guessed but in the hands of this winemake a stroke of genius! Jay gave it a 97.

  Very nice Washington syrah. Rich and full bodied as one would expect but with a nice balance and finish.
