Estate Walla Walla Valley Syrah

I like the nose on this, but like more than a few ‘17s I’ve had from Walla Walla, the palate is a little disappointing. The nose has the campfire ember smokiness (thanks Mt. St. Helens!) along with a hint of musky orchid florals. Some oozy berry fruit in the background. The palate hits with some deep savory flavors, but the back half shows a little astringency. Still, overall, pretty nice.
