A 100% Syrah from the Red Willow vineyards of Yakima Valley, that sees 98% whole cluster fermentation and just a touch of new oak during aging. This is a bigger, more heady wine than the Forgotten Hills, and really delivers expressive notes of roasted blackberry, ripe blueberry, smoked mocha powder, black-pepper salumi, black licorice and potpourri. It’s an incredibly complex wine that changes with time in the glass. Rounding out the palate is medium tannins, medium plus acidity and a balanced full mouthfeel. 593 cases produced. Highly recommended.
