2018 Eight Bells Syrah 8 Clones Red Willow VineyardYakima Valley more |
4/16/2024 - sid_loves_wine Likes this wine: 91 pointsEnjoyable for sure and improved as time went on, but it never quite found its footing all the way for me. Started off pretty closed and a little difficult to assess, with mostly smoke and pepper on the nose (not smoke damage, just charcoal tones.) That's typical for Washington syrah and I enjoy it, but it was burying the fruit a little bit. Thankfully it came out to play after a while, sort of an unusual mix of very ripe fruit that was clearly on the redder spectrum (sort of like raspberry liqueur, which was the fruit note I kept returning to.) That dark red fruit mixed nicely with the savory tones, sort of like pepper beef with raspberry reduction. It never really harmonized into something greater than the sum of its parts, and I wouldn't call it especially expressive or nuanced, but it was solid and very tasty with a simple steak (which helped to temper the otherwise pretty dusty, rustic tannin structure.) Maybe I'm underrating it a bit, It just didn't really grab me. |

3/3/2024 - BradA Likes this wine: 90 pointsA very suave and smooth merlot. A bit of chocolate on the finish and a seemless mid palate. A winery that has produced consistently excellent wines that are food friendly and a joy to sip. |
