funky syrah and an excessive amount of everything packed into a (stated) 13.5% abv frame. I need to verify, but a viognier element currently puts this in the "perfume section of Macy's" zone. It needs time to integrate. On the palate it's smooth as ever though

Pretty and correct. This features the high-tension, coal-like grip common to this label. Wafting hints of smoke and smoldering coals add complexity. Precise, balanced, and long.

My first trip to Walla Walla; 5/12/2022-5/14/2022 (Walla Walla, Washington): More structure but still quite lean. When I think of the Betz La Côte Patriarche which is also from Red Willow Vineyard, I am not even sure how these are from the same site.
