A bright blue-purple core with a light purple rim in the glass, the 2021 Walla Walla Syrah from Valdemar is a meaty and delicious effort from the winemaking team. Notes of bacon fat and grilled ribs fall alongside lush boysenberries, cedary herbs, dark chocolate shavings, and touches of crushed slate. Fine-grained tannins merge with ample acidity, leading to a spicey and long finish. 326 cases made.
