Overall, Rogue Valley Syrahs get better every year, as the vineyards age and when vintage conditions allow for full ripening. This new release brings some green herb and savory flavors to tart fruit flavors of rhubarb and raspberry. There are gentle hints of the cured meat and umami flavors that the better Oregon Syrahs can reveal. This does not taste as ripe as in past vintages. The new oak (40%) barrel flavors are still prominent, with toasted cashew and hazelnut dominating the finish.
