RATINGS

97Jeb Dunnuck

...aromas of blackberries, peppery herbs, blueberries, bouquet garni, and some gamey, meaty notes...rich, medium to full-bodied, flawlessly balanced...ample mid-palate depth, building yet ripe tannins, and a great finish...

96Vinous / IWC

...distinctly savory and earthy...with a meaty mix of beef blood and underbrush giving way to wilted violets and crushed stone...soothingly round and cool-toned in feel, with ripe red and black fruits accentuated by a flourish of sweet spice toward the close...mouth waters for more as notes of bitter cocoa and sage slowly fade.

96Wine Enthusiast

...opened up to blow me an aromatic kiss of blackberries, black pepper, bacon fat and a trace of granola. The medium-bodied wine's flavors of black cherry, espresso and vanilla extract went on forever, ably backed by fine-grained tannins and elevated acidity.

94James Suckling

I like the mix of white and black pepper here, plus dark mocha, grilled rosemary and dark cherry fruit. Touch of cedar. Intensely flavorful and full-bodied with firm and polished tannins. Broad and firm finish.

94Decanter Magazine (points)

...potent, very ripe wine packed with black cherry and plum flavours that are anchored by a steely coolness and nervy acidity that pierces through the finish...glossy and opulent yet delicate in texture with a finish marked by fine, polished tannins.

REGION

United States, Washington, Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley, Red Mountain

Yakima Valley AVA was the first AVA created in Washington State. The valley, a 600,000-acre area in south central Washington, was granted AVA status in 1983. In 1984 Columbia Valley was given AVA status, and Yakima Valley was enclosed within the Columbia Valley AVA. Nevertheless, Yakima Valley remains home to the largest concentration of vineyards and wineries in the state. There are more than 60 wineries and some 16,000 vineyard acres, and nearly 40% of Washington wines are made with Yakima Valley grapes. The most frequently planted grape is Chardonnay, followed by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaking here dates to 1869, when a winemaker from Alsace planted grape vines. Vineyard planting and wine production plodded along slowly until the early 1980s when numerous modern pioneers started making well-reviewed Yakima Valley wines. Some of the state’s newest, most closely watched appellations, including Red Mountain AVA and Horse Heaven Hills AVA, are contained within Yakima Valley.

TYPE

Red Wine, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
