93 POINTS - Wine Enthusiast : This Oregon-based winemaker has produced one mighty fine example of Washington state Syrah. Fans of the savory side will flip for the wine's seared steak aroma and the bacon fat on its finish. In between, look for aromas and flavors of blackberries, dried black cherries, dark plum, leather and fresh sage. It is also beautifully balanced, with restrained alcohol, bouncy acidity and tannins that are beginning to integrate.  — Michael Alberty
