Great Syrah blend (75% Syrah, 25% Mourvedre). Dark purple color. Nose of dark fruit and an earthy funk (the barnyard blew off after a minute or so). Big fruit presence with nice acidity, spice, and a big earthy element. Love this.

I really liked this. Nice translucent color of cherry red. Nose of cherry, cigar box, and dusty rocks. Nice flavor notes of cherry, dried cranberries, campfire smoke, and cedar planks. Decent QPR. Great with a bevy of foods.

Tasted at the SOH tasting room in Walla Walla, then took a bottle home with me. Nice Chard, big oak presence. Deep gold color. Nose of yellow and red apple with spices and pipe tobacco smoke. Rich flavors of apple, pineapple, grass, orange blossom, and a little cedar, probably from the oak. Then, there was a big oak on the finish. I would buy again.
