Tasting really good right now !! A perfect cork after a decade in the bottle. Consumed over three days. Popped and poured this balanced wine, it opened up quickly. On day three the fruit was still fresh, this elegant balanced wine had softened to reveal increased depth and integrated complexity. Dark red color with no to no oxidation, clarity medium, unfined, and unfiltered. Aromas of bing cherry and raspberry. Flavors of black cherry cola, raspberry framboise, and leather. This Syrah has a beautifully long to medium finish. A balanced and flavorful Syrah from Horse Heaven Hills. This age worthy wine has many more years of life left. A great fruit source and another great winemaking effort by Ron Bunnell.

Recent purchase from Woodinville Warehouse tasting room. Still young in its lifecycle. Needed two hour decant to really open up. Alcohol, Dried herbs and black pepper upstage some surly black fruits. On the palate there are some grippy tannins and barely present acidity, but enough to not make it flabby. I would hold this wine a couple of more years and still give it a decent decant. Roast leg of lamb and veggies would be the meal of my choice.

Definitely ready, if not past prime. Heavier fruit notes

Very good and definitely ready to drink, may be a little late. Spicy at first but calmed down quickly
