From the 30-acre Powerline Vineyard, this 2020 Syrah mirrors the Northern Rhône's elegance with its deep ruby hue and complex bouquet of black cherry, blueberry, and black olive. Enhanced by rose petals and crushed stone, its high elevation and 4% Viognier co-ferment deliver a balanced, dynamic profile with a finish reminiscent of classic Syrah. Washington’s Rhône-like brilliance.

James Suckling

A powerful and spicy syrah with aromas of black olives, nutmeg, peppercorns, black cherries and sea urchins. Bitter chocolate, too. Full-bodied, firm and polished, with a velvety texture carrying the black fruit. Intense and so long. Try in 2025.

A bigger, more powerful, masculine-styled release, the 2020 Syrah Powerline Vineyard (100% Syrah) sports a deeper ruby/plum hue as well as medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of ripe black and blue fruits, ground pepper, violets, and smoked meats. It brings lots of concentration and power but stays elegant and balanced, with beautiful tannins.
