  Outstanding in every way. Start with the cork which is a “technical” not natural cork; so absolutely no worries about ending up with a corked bottle after 15+ years of aging. The wine is fresh and vibrant all of the rough edges have been smoothed by time in the bottle. Dark rich berry fruit; marionberry, boysenberry, and blackberry predominate. the finish provides graphite and tobacco notes to balance out the upfront fruit. Sadly, only one bottle remains in our cellar…..

  We’ve been drinking this over the last ten years (well, infrequently, not a sip a month). It is just a really good full-bodied wine, still going strong.

  Very sad to have consumed my last bottle of this wine. Ken Wright has shown that he can craft top notch Syrah's in addition to his namesake Pinot Noirs.
  
  Very robust at 13 years of age, with excellent fruit right out of the gate, powerful nose of brush, wet earth, and crushed aromatic fruit.
  
  Long finish, a pleasure to drink

  Soft, ripe dark fruits, dried cherries, cocoa. Long smooth finish. Well balanced.

  Friday Tasting Group; Syrahs/Shirazes (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): From the winery's site: "The wine, all made in Carlton at Ken Wright Cellars, is from fruit sourced from Seven Hills vineyard which lies on the Oregon side of the Walla Walla AVA." However, I was unable even to SUBMIT a change request to reflect that.
  
  N: Ripe berries with an aroma I couldn't ID? (Almost medicinal in nature?)
  
  P: Med, poss LM, body; ALMOST swtish frt met by some puckerish astringency which slowly, fairly seamlessly morphs into quite a LONG, very, VERY slightly tangy finish with a definite swtness to its very, VERY fine tannins. Deserves/NEEDS into '20, then poss making its 20th? 14.5% ABV; My EXC+, likely progressing to SOME level of EXCEPTIONALITY! :) 95 pts WS
