By Sean Sullivan
(Kevin White Winery La Fraternite Red Wine Yakima Valley) An aromatic wine with bright, fresh boysenberry, white pepper, red fruit, and moist earth. The palate is fresh, pure and sensuous with a layered, textured feel. An absolutely outstanding wine with great purity and a complete steal at this price. 42% Grenache (Upland), 42% Mourvedre (Olsen) and 16% Syrah (Olsen). Upland and Olsen vineyards. Aged 12 months in neutral French oak. 14.2% alcohol. 172 cases produced.

Day 1: Pop and pour. Open for business right out of the gate. Pepper, Garrique, spices, raspberries and stone. Savory wine and balanced. Multilayered, long finish. This is an amazing effort and will be seeking out more of this wine. 93+
Day 2: White pepper, stones, raspberries, floral, spice and roasted meats. Savory wine and medium to long finish. Beautifully crafted wine and one of the best QPR wines I have sampled in a long time. 94 points
Day 3: White pepper, floral, spice, gravel and raspberries. Amazing how well this has held up over 3 days. Still vibrant and delicious although day 2 was a bit better. 92 points
Recommendation: This is an amazing effort for $20. I would drink this now to 2024.

Full of life despite being on the tail end of the community drinking window. Drinking extremely well, with at least a few years ahead of it. Heavier than expected. Expressive, bright.

I liked this a lot, but not to the same degree as others, apparently. Very competent Rhone and a reasonable value. Alas, no notes taken.
