A lovely expression of Walla Walla Syrah that gets a little push from the addition of 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Mourvedre. Blueberry, orange zest, black cherry and pepper speak clearly on the nose and translate nicely on the palate, with the Cabernet adding supple tannins and a touch of dried herb to the proceedings. A fine solo glass or one that will enhance medium to strong cheeses.
