By Sean Sullivan
(Rasa Vineyards Principia Reserve Syrah Walla Walla Valley) Dark in color. Quite closed up at present but shows aromas of earth, game, and berries. The palate is lithe, seamless and elegant, filled with textured fruit flavors. An incredibly impressive wine with a long life ahead of it. Give 3-plus years. 100% Syrah. Les Collines, Seven Hills, Lewis, and Portteus vineyards. Aged 30 months in French oak (25% new). 14.2% alcohol. 115 cases produced.

Wow, this wine is really at its peak. Full bodied, deep purple, terrific nose and smooth tannins. Delectable!

Pure Washington Syrah, unencumbered by obtrusive oak and back by powerful acid and gritty tannin. Compelling mouthfeel, expressive finish.

An auction purchase at half of retail, so to be fair I’m not sure how this was stored. It was disappointing for a bottle that retails for $80 and even the $42 I paid. The nose was ok and had its moments, but on the palate this was just kind of flat. No improvement on day two.

No rough edges on this wine at all. PnP, this was smooth and round. Feels like it could go another few years, but I don't think it's still improving at this point, but rather holding steady--in a really good place.
