100% Syrah from Colombia Valley, tasted at their new tasting room in downtown Walla Walla. Purple red, rich barrel smoke and cherry aroma. Light lactic finish with red fruit flavor throughout. Tannins on finish make this a solid red for aging. Warming

The QED is a blend of six different vineyards and is 69% Syrah, 15% Grenache, 12% Mourvedre and 4% Viognier. Beautiful perfumed florals on the nose of violets and purple florals, baking spices, blueberries, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, plum and dark soils. The body is medium as are the velvety tannins. On the palate; ripe, lean, blueberries, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries and plum. Then, beautiful spices rise off the palate gently. Red roses, violets, dark moist earth, crushed dry rocks with very good acidity and a beautiful finish.

Another winner. Rocky, spicy, tapenade. Blue and res fruit transition into savory notes. Slightly hot, great acid, toasty notes. Gorgeous wine.

Impressive for a blend. Nice transition from light to darker fruit with an interesting, but still relatively light, body.

What a nice blend. Syrah-dominant and delicious. Good to drink on its own but also good with food. Decent to drink now or it can age a bit.
