Lovely nose of alpine flowers,
Granite, dusty almonds.
Classy, polished, red and blue fruits, hints of anise, a whiff of coriander. This is a gem of a wine, truly delicious, in fruit and mouthfeel.
The acid keeps ringing it’s bell through to its very long finish. Yum.
A Garagiste buy.

Terrific wine. Great nose of sweet dark red berry fruit, smoky embers, herb-marinated olives, and grilled 🥩. Broad and savory in the mouth, with a long clingy finish.

This was beautiful, though I'd love to have seen it in a few more years.

This Syrah brought it!!!! Meat, blood, game, soy, graphite, pencil lead, minerality. All for little dough. Such a fantastic example of wines made from The Rocks region of Walla Walla. Old world charm with New World fruit. I am kicking myself for not having bought more of this.

Ripe Italian plums, Cascade huckleberries and red and green peppercorns, but not the black ones. Yeah, it was that specific. :D
