Reynvaan Family Vineyards
Stonessence Estate Syrah
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
2013 Vintage. 13.6% Alcohol. Should have been called rosemaryessence. Never left over three days. Total disappointment. Purchased in Portland after release so provenance not an excuse.

Seriously flat fall here. Hoping I got a poorly stored bottle, but the complexity within this is quite absent; not a shining star for the Rocks district. Black stewed fruits, lacking structure, moderate acidity, more like Grenache than Syrah. NOT what I was excited to experience.
