Vineyard sources for this 100% varietal Syrah were mostly Yakima Valley growers; the cooperage was all French (22% new) and the alcohol levels were in proportion with the overall balance. It’s a good wine, though not up to the standard of the exceptional Trust 2005 Syrah. Here you’ll find light flavors of berry and tomato, fresh herbs and a little green edge to the tannins.

The wine doesn’t completely come together; different lots of grapes seem to have ripened quite differently, and so the mix of fruit flavors goes from tart cranberry to slightly pruney. There is an earthy base and the finish closes with some fairly stiff and astringent tannins.

The acids in white wines of the 2008 vintage are superb; and the beautiful match of acids and sugars in many Washington Rieslings is nicely displayed here. The aromas are ripe and rich with a nice mix of floral, apple, stone fruit and light tropical fruit. Flavors evolve with pleasingly sweet hints of honey and tea; this feels like a wine that could age beautifully.

This 80% Cabernet/20% Merlot is sleek and polished, with moderate levels of alcohol, pretty floral aromas, and a pleasing sense of winemaker restraint across the board. The oak is 30% new, the flavors a delicate mix of tart red fruits, some vanilla, cola and earth. The tannins are just right also; this is a wine that could surprise with more time in the cellar.
