Sultry, smoky, and with deep minerality. Mouthcoating and plush, together with the low acidity scream Walla Walla to me, even though this says Columbia Valley AVA. Not the most complex, but ticks a lot of boxes and is quite satisfying. Great value at $15 from Last Bottle.

Wonderfully structured, sultry tannins and store fruit notes. Slightly peppery and just luscious, yum!

I’m loving everything Darby produces. They tend to make a statement from their extra thick bottles to their very expressive wines. A dark and only slightly peppery Syrah. Good spice notes with smoky wood chip in a barbecue flavors. Just enough for the tannins to keep it well structured. Expressive flavor from the tip of your tongue to the back of your mouth. At this point I think I would try anything from them.

Meal in a glass. Rich, powerful, nice intensity, well made but mildly confections. To be drank on its own.
