2015 Les Collines Syrah
lOO% walla walla syrah from les collines vineyard. Coming from a cooler site than our red mountain vineyard and also having much different soils, this syrah has a nose of violet, dried green herbs, and a touch of tar. The palate has a luscious mouthfeel with blackberry and black currant.
The wine was made by gently crushing and de-stemming the clusters directly into bins without the use of a must pump. Approximately 33% of the grapes were fermented as whole clusters. Fermentation was completed using commercial yeasts and then the wine was pressed into 3-5 year old French 225L barrels where ML took place. The wine was aged for approximately 2O months before bottling. No fining took place and the wine was filtered through a coarse pad to remove the lees.

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
From one of the state's top Syrah vineyards, this offers aromas of dried and fresh herb, violet and black cherry that lead to full-bodied, extremely pure dark-fruit flavors. Aged in three- to five-year old-oak, it has a purity and mouthfeel that add to the appeal. It should show well on the dinner table.
