great example of Joel's wine making ability without a vineyard designation. good balance and depth with some bricking around the edges and a little aged flavor in the taste...still was a good bottle of wine. should be consumed as will not get any better.

Wine from the Walla Walla Valley with good character, filled the mouth, dark cherry earthy with nice finish that ended with a little leather, smoke and ripe cherries. The wine could cellar a little longer but I think is at its peak. Classic Walla Walla Syrah

Not goinig to improve, but great now. Great character, great body. With the red fruit notes, there was a pleasant and l'ecole-like herbal note throughout. Drink over next year or two.
