This is Walter Dacon's best effort, a barrel selection from the French oak-aged side lots. It's 100% Syrah with a generous (one third) portion of Boushey grapes. The three Syrahs from Walter Dacon use different barrel regimens, but blend grapes from the same vineyards, and so they tend to share a very similar set of flavors, and lose focus. In place of specificity, they offer bold, oaky, forward, ripe and immediately accessible flavors of fruit and barrel. Paul Gregutt

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
