100% Syrah aged for 21 months in 15-20% new French oak.

Armada Vineyard—At 1815 vines per acre, this 7-acre vineyard, created in 2001, was the highest density planting in the Walla Walla Valley until 2008. Notable wines include Armada Vineyard Syrah, God Only Knows Grenache and Edith Grenache Rosé. The vineyard has been cultivated using biodynamic farming methods since 2002.

Displaying a lighter color with a medium ruby hue, the 2021 Syrah Armada Vineyard has a spicy, complex, broad and structured nose, with fresh aromas of black cherries, blackberry skin, violets and rose blossoms. The palate, firm and food friendly, features a distinctive tannic edge that's meant for red meats. Unmistakably Syrah from Walla Walla Valley, this is a gorgeous beauty, and I'm going back to finish the glass. The wine spent 21 months aging in a combination of new and used French oak. 7,632 bottles were produced. Anticipated Maturity: 2025-2041

The 2021 Syrah Armada Vineyard lifts from the glass with a high-toned bouquet, as dusty rose and violet tones give way to hints of white smoke, baking spice and black raspberry. This envelops the palate with soft and round textures, displaying noticeable weight and energy. Its fresh acidity propels its ripe red and blue fruit nuances. The 2021 finishes with a liquid floral concentration and pleasantly chewy sensation, leaving sweet tannins that frame the experience without slowing its momentum. I love the unbridled energy here.
