Two Vintners
Some Days are Stones Syrah
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Bright red fruit - cranberry - on the nose, followed by white pepper and red plum notes. On the pallet, rich strawberry, cranberry and faint rhubarb notes make for excellent spicy food pairing (we had it with chipotle flavored sausage, yum!). This is just starting to mature, and could easily go another 5-7 years.

Dec 27th, 2017Very interesting with multiple layers of flavor. Savory and funky, with great depth of fruits, Aged meats, berries, a streak of iron and beautiful lifted finish.

Nice tannic edge, bright fruit, excellent minerality, so typical of The Rocks. Yummy!

Dec 20th, 2015Classic Rocks! Bacon fat, game and black fruit. Killer balance. The most approachable 2012 I've had from the region, yet the this wine will age well.

Gambled on this but it is drinking perfectly. The 2013 is my favorite year, but this is a close second.
