Score 89/100 · Drink 2017-2022, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Oct 2017
Good dark red. Musky aromas of raspberry and smoke lifted by a floral nuance. Supple and nicely filled in, offering nuanced flavors of red fruits, game, olive and red pepper; in a rather polite style for Syrah but not simple. Finishes with dusty tannins and lingering plummy sweetness.

Similar to the Les Collines release with its dark fruits, tapenade and underbrush aromatics, the 2014 Syrah (there’s 4% Grenache) from Walla Walla Valley is medium-bodied, rich and structured, with slightly more chewy tannin. It is a beautiful wine that's going to drink nicely for 6-7 years.
