K Vintners Syrah "The Deal" Sundance Vineyard 2019 (Wahluke Slope, Columbia Valley, Washington) - [JS 96] [JD 94] [VM 93] [WA 92+]

Winemaker Notes: Sundance Vineyard:One of the oldest vineyards on the Wahluke Slope, planted in 1997. The site is topsoil over gravel, sand and broken down basalt with more caliche than other sites in the Wahluke. The vineyard, because of its aspect, is also a later ripening site allowing for great concentration. Tasting Notes The density of an I-beam and the lift of a whisper. Sundance Vineyard in full bloom as we have never seen before. White pepper, orange skin, red plum. Black licorice. black leather, black sand. To behold is a treasure, to drink is the pleasure! Ratings & Reviews 96 Points - James Suckling:Black tea, blackberry, redcurrant and sage on the nose. Full-bodied with fine, tight tannins. Bright acidity lifts up the dark-fruit profile and brings energy and drive to the lengthy palate. Ground spice and dark chocolate turn the experience savory by the end. Well structured. Excellent depth of flavor. Best after 2024.94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck: Vinified in concrete tanks a
