Estate Walla Walla Valley Syrah
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Gorgeous and balanced, this Syrah from The Rocks has a stunning nose of lavender, smoky ash-pit, crushed sandstone, bresaola, dark berry ooze. Super soft and lightly savory in the mouth, it kind of floats rather than sits in the mouth. Long, rich flavors end on a savory, saline note. Ridiculous.

A couple of years since my last btl. On the nose: lovely soft rocks funk (stewed, spiced cabbage?), loads black raspberry, olive brine, cola...fantastic aromatics. On the palate: very good acidity, cola, green herbs, more black raspberry, slightly creamy in texture...creamy finish, with largely attenuated tannin, but a touch of grip. Solid...but has this already peaked?

Amazingly powerful fruit with strong notes of vanilla, figs and smoke. A great vintage!
