Sweet red berry juice, smoky powdered stone, bresaola, and musky florals in the nose. Intensely minerally and savory in the mouth. Broad, high pH mouthfeel. Still some slightly gritty but pleasant tannin. Long finish. Very distinctive.

Sweet juicy, menthol, bramble fruit. Salty meats. Delicious

Mar 18th, 2019A bit young, so give it plenty of air. The nose is really complex: smoldering stones, flowers, freshly-baked whole wheat bread, dark rich berry ooze. Intense and large-framed in the mouth. Initial hit is tight and hot, but then opens into mouth-coating savory flavors. Lots of tannin to shed, but terrific length. Goes on and on. Terrific now, but will definitely improve over the next few years.

94/6 mostly if not all the fruit is from The Rocks. Smoked meats, dark red/black with some flinty notes on the way back end. One of the best lineups of wine in Walla Walla. Lifetime guarantee on pricing for club members.

Fantastic Washington nose, a little decant and it really opens up.

Jan 18th, 2022Great for the price,
Northern Blend is a Syrah cuvée that's co-fermented with 6% Viognier,
Rivals bottles at twice the price, not overly funky like Horsepower and a few others,
