Sleight Of Hand Cellars
The Psychedelic Stoney Vine Estate Vineyard Syrah
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
This is just beautiful. Classic Rocks nose: musky florals, smoky ground dark stones, rare roasted beef, dark berry ooze. Earthy, mouthfilling and soft, it’s all about secondary flavors now, heading to tertiary. Super soft and rich, but everything in balance. It’s always kind of amazing to me how different Syrahs in Walla Walla, especially from The Rocks (which are basaltic in nature), are from the granite-grown Syrahs in the Northern Rhône. Love this.

Powerful Syrah that went great with my pizza. The fruit is amazing. Likely the best Washington state wine I have had. An American-style Syrah, not elegant like Hermitage, but interesting in its own right.
