2018 Rasa Vineyards Syrah Veritas Sequitur SJR Vineyard

Incredible savory, meaty minerality reminiscent of pan-fried Bolognese offal and mushroom in a subtle but persistent setting of black fruit. A great match for my wife’s slow-cooked roast beef with root vegetables. Long and meaningful finish that enhances and complements the evening’s other flavors.
I met Billo and a few of his key staff in Walla Walla last June. He’s bright, creative and focused with a ready and welcoming smile. There’s no doubt they love what they’re doing, and it clearly shows in this cuvée.

2015 Balboa Winery Mith

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Balboa founder, proprietor and winemaker Tom Glase at Balboa last June. His passion, positivity, and perspicacity translate into this very fine 2015 Bordeaux blend, “Mith.” 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, and 12% Merlot, all grown in the magnificent Rocks District of Milton Freewater. Dark ruby with lots of red and blue fruit. The wine shows almost no heat despite the 14.5% ABV. Tom’s a truly good guy, and I invite all to enjoy a bottle of Mith. Cheers!
