Very bright and fresh on the nose. Leading with notes of boysenberry and huckleberry. Fresh mountain berries with forest aromas all around. Earthy, forest floor, and spruce tips. Very pretty saline, umami character that is a dead ringer for having a healthy dose of rocks fruit. Nori and black pepper provide nuance. Dark chocolate and city roast coffee beans also add more complexity to this intriguing aromatic profile. Plush tannin and acid-driven on the palate. A great length, long finish, and a saline quality that immediately makes you want another sip. This wine encapsulates the truly unique terroir that the Walla Walla Valley has for growing Syrah.
