Popped and poured but took almost an hour to open up and lose its tight tartness. Almost undrinkable for me at first but Christine correctly advised patience. In the end this was nice, medium plus body with big dark cherry fruits.

Pleasant bottle of syrah that was fruit forward, lighter on its feet and bright finish. Not much complexity and short finish. Had much better at this syrah price point.

This is an aggressive and powerful wine. High alcohol, high tannin, and powerful in every way. It was a bit overwhelming. I pick up blueberries, raspberries, cured meats, rosemary and freshly crushed wormwood greens. The finish is a bit protracted, tangled with these vibrant fruits. drink now.

Nice nose of fruits and spice. Medium body for a syrah with a pleasant finish. Fruit on the palate had a hint of citrus and spice. Well balanced. Missing a wow factor.

(Va Piano Vineyards Estate Syrah Barrel Sample Walla Walla Valley) Gorgeous aromatics full of floral notes and fresh berries. The wine has a beautiful richness to the mid-palate with lush fruit flavors complemented by a well-structured backbone.
