We drank the 09 and the 06 against each other for two nights. For the price both are good weekday choices. The 06 was pretty closed down - in the beginning it had virtually no nose at all. After an hour it started to improve and by the second day was the preferred choice. Much darker in color it is beginning to show some bricking. It is much more earthy than its younger sibling and had a longer finish and more discernible mid-palate by the second day.

(Amavi Cellars Syrah Walla Walla Valley) A gripping, gamey wine with lots of berry up front and a dark fruit core. A very long finish with pipe tobacco. 14.1% alcohol. 1,422 cases produced.
