Tasting Notes
Patina Vineyard Syrah is a single vineyard, 100% Syrah from Walla Walla. Chocolate, tobacco and rumcake open on the nose, with delicate rose petal and lavender notes lingering in the vapors. The initial flavors showcase bright red fruits and brilliant acidity. The mid palate is very powerful, dense with cherry, black cherry and plum flavors, supported by substantial tannins. The finish is clean and elegant and refreshing in a way that is atypical of Syrah. This wine was built in a tight, compact fashion that should allow considerable cellar aging potential. Truly a unique expression of terroir, from a tremendous Walla Walla vineyard.

A wine of the Week! This wine leans toward the elegant side with a light aroma of vanilla, floral perfume and cherry/berry. The palate offers similar flavors with notes of citrus and dark chocolate as well.
