Saviah 2018 The Funk Estate Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
This Syrah is cofermented with 4% Viognier, and its aromas are bright, with notes of fresh orange zest, black olive, medicine, smoked meat and firepit. Soft, plush, velvety flavors follow. Orange rind notes linger on the finish. It has a juicy feel that ups the interest. The Viognier plays a prominent role at present. Sean P. Sullivan
