2017 Les Collines Syrah
The 2017 vintage from Walla Walla Valley showcases exceptional quality and unique characteristics, thanks to a growing season with a cold winter, warm spring, hot, dry summer, and cooler fall allowing optimal ripening. This resulted in rich, complex, and well-balanced wines. The wine is deep, vibrant ruby red with intense aromas of dark berries, black cherry, plum, and hints of violets, tobacco, cedar, and baking spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and robust, offering concentrated flavors of blackberry, blueberry, and dark chocolate, balanced by lively acidity, with mid-palate notes of leather, earthy undertones, and a touch of vanilla from oak aging.
