Though the alcohol comes close to 15%, this is still relatively light compared with other Spofford vineyard Syrahs. Sweet cherry candy, or cherry pie fruit is slathered in flavors of coconut/vanilla cream. It’s tasty, though relatively simple, especially for fruit from this vineyard, which is known for its earthy terroir.

Tannic and astringent, this lacks the muscle and texture of the 2005. The fruit flavors center on hard raspberry candy, but it’s very chalky and astringent through the finish.

Once again the Spofford Station fruit shines; this is muscular, fully ripe, textural and dense with a seamless mix of red, blue and black fruits that sails effortlessly into the ripe tannins. The underpinning of firm acid and the hints of dill-flavored spice (from a percentage of American oak) serve to expand the wine in the mouth, adding breadth and depth. It finishes a bit chalky and sour, but otherwise has a lot of positives.

This expresses the Walla Walla character nicely; a unique mix of acid, wild berry, spice, earth and compost. Compared with other Spofford vineyard Syrahs it’s on the light side, yet has amazing persistence and pure varietal character. At this price, it’s a fine introduction to Walla Walla Syrah.
