Valdemar 2018 Stoney Vine Vineyard Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
Editors' Choice
Rocks District wines are sometimes known for their brawn and outrageousness. This example shows the area is plenty capable of making wines focused on grace and finesse, too. The aromas are brooding, with notes of moist earth, blue fruits, plum and orange rind. The palate is rich in flavor and silky soft in feel, loaded with blue fruit flavors. The balance is exquisite and the length impressive. It's a very pretty, classy offering from the area but with no shortage of hedonism. Sean P. Sullivan
