Stack a pile of red masonry bricks in your backyard under the sun and let them bake in the solar intensity for a few decades - take a bundle of bok choy, toss it with sesame oil and slap it on a screaming hot charcoal grill - find a slab of mountain sandstone and gently crush it into tiny bits with 2,000lbs of goose feathers - this Syrah is a downright delight, a true feast of Pure Washington aromatics and savor. Deeply crunchy red fruits run up and down the glass, with intense mountain cherries dusted with smoked paprika, blackberries rinsed in violet eau de vie, and a surprisingly lifted tone of brûléed lemon. An incredibly well crafted cool climate Syrah, with a hyper-complex nose that offers new, confoundingly conceptual notes each time you visit, and a silken palate that feels luxurious yet wild at the same time. HUGE fan!

This is such a fun, bright, and energetic rendition of Syrah. Honestly, it took me by surprise in a very refreshing way. With brambly berries and red florals on the intense aromatics, it hits the palate with lively red plum, blackberry, and black pepper notes. All surrounded by mouthwatering acidity, it speaks to a cool climate and finessed Syrah. This is a charmer that's going to be difficult to keep from popping corks at our current one-time pricing.
