2015 Dusted Valley Vintners Syrah Tall Tales Walla Walla Valley

Tasted at the winery. My favorite wine. Stone, raspberries, ripe fruits and firm tannic structure. Medium to long finish. Picks up a buttery note. Complex wine and should drink well over the next decade.

Tasted at the winery. My least favorite of the wines tasted. Ripe fruit, oak and tannic. Needs time to settle down. Advise drinking this 2022 or later.
