Rich and full bodied with dark fruit, vanilla and coffee while still retaining some of the meaty, peppery character of Syrah. Like Napa valley Hermitage.

Wow. Burnt toast and bacon. That's basically the low down.

Great syrah with a lot of crushed pepper, coffee, vanilla, blackberry, and nutmeg spice.

Lot of Syrah went down tonight. On the table of about 7 West Coast Syrah, this one was definitely the most fruity. Black fruit, plum, fig throughout the front and middle. Finishes with some spice. More of a baking spice with a hint of black pepper. Hardly any funk on this wine whatsoever. This wine is dense. Full-bodied. Fair amount of tannin on the finish. When consumed alongside an herb braised pork and some hot cherry peppers, this wine kinda dies. The Walla Walla Syrahs push back!
