The 2018 Syrah Walla Walla Valley showcases plenty of stony terroir on the palate, which is nicely textured with really good flavor range, from bright red fruits to salted meats to green olive and wet stone. This beautiful effort is drinking marvelously right now.

A peppery, tight and vibrant syrah with aromas of grilled rosemary, garrigue, peppered meat and blackcurrants. Gently grippy, stemmy tannins here, with a medium body and wild-herb character. 100% syrah. Drink or hold.
