2021 Lefore Syrah
JOSH'S NOTES
A ton going on aromatically in this wine from our vineyard in the Rocks District of the Walla Walla Valley. Cigar smoke, tar, graham cracker notes, and hints of fresh cut violets - super diverse. Silky smooth and suave. Round mouthfeel and a soft finish. Taken from two different blocks and multiple picks, 95% fermented whole cluster, and then aged in 1,000L ovals and new French oak barrels. Drink now through 2038.
