Winery Review: 2010 delivered a profound expression of "the stones,” showcasing both the savory and sweet elements of great Walla Walla Valley syrah, the high-tone floral perfume of cabernet and the mid-palate weight and game notes of mourvèdre. The nose offers a complex mix of mineral, earth and leather layers, as well as beautiful black cherry, dark raspberry, anise and violet aromas. Though intense, there is a lovely perfumed quality, and uplifting acidity, that lead to a long, rich finish with a mineral and spice core.
My Review: This was a well-crafted wine and one of the most expensive I've tasted thus far on my wine journey. It had a great earthy nose with mostly black fruit and floral hints. The taste was just as beautiful. There were hints of cherry, raspberries, currants, and blackberries with some spice. The Syrah and Cab really come through for me on this. The spice from the Syrah is definitely there and combines well with the Cab's mid-palate complexity. It had a long, smooth finish that kept me licking my lips for more. Very well done.
