Waters Tremolo

Several winemakers in Walla Walla sung the praises of old Grenache during my visit and I understand why. Here, at 9 years old and blended with 40% Syrah, it retains its youthful bright red fruit while gaining some tertiary complexity. Caramel, artificial cherry, raspberry, and a bit of iron/rock/minerality. Medium to light body, gentle tannins, and only a little noticeable acidity. It’s good. If I’m being honest though, it lacks a little complexity. But it’s hard to find any fault …

Consistent with first tasting note. Good stuff, but the 2nd bottle was the best of the 3. Drink now - 2023.

Consistent with prior note. Really enjoyed this one with homemade pesto pizza. Lots of sediment, so take care with your pours or strain/decant. Drink now - 2023.

P&P. Pleasantly surprised by this one, especially after reading some of the notes. Yes, it's lighter body, due to the Grenache most likely, but certainly not lacking in flavor. Paired extremely well with pesto pizza. Some savory white pepper and bramble notes to go with the strawberry and raspberry fruit. Great acid but not a lot of structure, so I'd consume in the near term. Drink now - 2023.

Good albeit a bit on the light side. Not enuf structure to hold up to other than lighter fare.

First of these. Very tasty Rhone blend without being overwhelming. Lighter in colour than expected (maybe the Grenache), but also a little lighter on the nose and palate. Good balanced fruit and nice crisp acidity in a medium bodied, ree cherry and berry package. Very nice, but not more than that.

A little disappointing... got better once it opened up a bit more (2hrs+ after aerating), but still not what I hoped

The day after opening nice tannic leathery nose and full bodied from front to back with a slightly acidic finish. I guess this wine needs more aging or extra aeration.

Thin nose, acidic- not full bodied.

60% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 13.7%. Medium bodied, even with the big chunk of Syrah. Red fruit, cocoa, mineral streak, peppery finish. Easy drinking.

A friend and I tasted this at the Seattle tasting room on 8/11/18. It had soft, reserved bouquet of plum, black cherry, mocha, cocoa and spice aromas. The palate was rich, dense and tight with flavors that followed the nose. 91+
