àMaurice 2013 Fred Estate Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
Bright aromas of freshly roasted coffee beans, brown stems, dried herbs, purple flowers, mineral and black pepper are followed by ethereally light fruit and savory flavors that focus on elegance. This wine provides plenty of interest but the finish seems a bit clipped. It might lengthen out with aging. Sean P. Sullivan
