6 Bottles K Vintners Rock Garden Walla Valley Syrah 2017 750ml

Syrah/Shiraz from Walla Walla Valley, Columbia Valley, Washington Notes from the Winemaker Vintage 2017 was a fantastic year for making wine with a cool spring and a fair amount of rain. Washington had an ideal spring for heathy vines. The moderate temperatures during summer were perfect for small clusters and yet delayed veraison into the fall where we had a consistent ripening season that allowed us to hang the fruit for perfect tannin and flavor without losing acidity or acquiring too much alcohol. Overall it was a vintage to remember. Reviews and Accolades 96 Points/Jeb Dunnuck This great site in the Rocks region of Walla Walla has produced a gamey, meaty 2017 Syrah Rockgarden that sports a medium ruby/plum color, Hermitage-like notes of blackcurrants, graphite, smoked game, pepper, and leafy herb, medium to full body, ripe, powerful tannins, and a great finish. There are just 361 cases made, but it’s a brilliant wine. 94 Points/Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateRockstar juice, the 2017
