2007 Syrah
94 points - Wine and Spirits Magazine! A Top 100 Best Buy for 2010! A cool, pretty syrah, this wine's scents of mocha and smoke adorn a mélange of blackberry, cassis and mint.

All of this is held in suspension by impressive acidity and textural detail that are rare in Washington syrah these days. October 2010
