Spontaneous Blind Tuesday night Rhone Varietals (Portland, Oregon): Wow. The nose on this is of striking minerality, olive, herbs, garrigue, and burnt meat. Palate shows dark savory berries, all sorts of peppers, bllody meats and lots of violets. Finishes long, clean, and without heat. 93-94 points
Closing my eyes, this is just like cooler syrah from Washington's Walla Walla region - In the Rocks vineyard. This wine is shockingly like Christophe's efforts at Cayuse and Reynvaan. Great bottle. Completely shocked by this effort..from Dry Creek??. Fantastic wine. Wow

Closed in on first day. Nice bouquet on day 2 but mouth feel slightly impacted by tannins. Decent fruit and finish.

I was right. This one finally came together and reached out like a decent Syrah. Have to say that it's better than the average Bella wine.
