2019 K Vintners Syrah The Hidden Walla Walla

JD96+ The 2019 Syrah The Hidden comes from the Northridge Vineyard and is another rich, burly wine that needs bottle age. Both red and black fruits, charcoal, smoky oak, and pepper define the bouquet, and it’s full-bodied, has building tannins, and a great finish. I wouldn’t open a bottle for at least 2-3 years.
JS96 Ripe black cherry, blackberry and whole and ground peppercorn on the nose. Full-bodied with fine, taught tannins. There is excellent depth and richness here with toasted black fruit and notes of leather and dried rose. Very well balanced with great complexity and intensity. Drink or hold.
Estate Notes: From the ancient soils of the Wahluke slope, a dark-dense structure goes on forever. Black current, wild sage, black plum, fresh mushroom, and crushed rock make this serious wine sing with focus while delivering black raspberry, cigar wrapper, black pepper, and wet earth. Broodily serious and rockin’!
