2014 Syrah (Columbia Valley)
Tasting Notes
JM’s 2014 Columbia Valley Syrah was made with fruit sourced from three of my favorite vineyards growing Syrah in Washington State: Ciel du Cheval, Klipsun and Stillwater Creek. Dark fruit driven with savory and smoky notes, this wine offers a lingering, velvety finish. We love this Syrah — Cheers!

93 Points 2011 Syrah, Columbia Valley (Editors Choice)
"In this new vintage the principal vineyard source is Boushey, with Stillwater filling in the last third of the blend. Ripe, meaty and dense with a concentrated mix of blue and black fruits, this fills out with dark flavors of espresso, cocoa, smoke, licorice and tar. The balance is maintained through a lingering, baking-spice finish..”
