Winemaker Notes

Aromas of violets and ripe berries mingle with a light essence of soil and brambles. Flavors of ripe dark fruits, raspberries, blueberries and cranberries embrace subtle hints of mineral and citrus. Critics say our Syrahs are getting better every vintage, and we are very excited about this one! Even in its youth, this wine flaunted a sophisticated combination of beauty and brawn.

Professional Ratings

    Amavi's Walla Walla bottling combines fruit from Les Collines (42 percent), Seven Hills (41) and Pepper Bridge (17) vineyards. Like Amavi's Les Collines (recommended above), it is concentrated and youthful, with a mulled spice aroma and flavors of blueberry, dark fig and cocoa; the texture is broad and powerful. For all of its breadth it feels precise, feet firmly planted. Cellar, then serve with cassoulet.

    Dense and chewy, not heavy, but firmly packed with dark berry and currant fruit surrounded by a swarm of tannin and hints of coffee and dried sage. Solid finish. Best from 2012 through 2017.

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”

Columbia Valley, Washington

Responsible for some of Washington’s most highly acclaimed wines, the Walla Walla Valley has experienced a surge in popularity in recent years and is home to both historic wineries and younger, up-and-coming producers.

The Walla Walla Valley, a Native American name meaning “many waters,” is located in southeastern Washington; part of the appellation actually extends into Oregon. Soils here are well-drained, sandy loess over Missoula Flood deposits and fractured basalt.

It is a region perfectly suited to Rhône-inspired Syrahs, distinguished by savory notes of red berry, black olive, smoke and fresh earth. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot create a range of styles from smooth and supple to robust and well-structured. White varieties are rare but some producers blend Sauvignon Blanc with Sémillon, resulting in a rich and round style, and plantings of Viognier, while minimal, are often quite successful.

Of note within Walla Walla, is one new and very peculiar appellation, called the Rocks District of Milton-Freewater. This is the only AVA in the U.S. whose boundaries are totally defined by the soil type. Soils here look a bit like those in the acclaimed Rhône region of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, but are large, ancient, basalt cobblestones. These stones work in the same way as they do in Chateauneuf, absorbing and then radiating the sun's heat up to enhance the ripening of grape clusters. The Rocks District is within the part of Walla Walla that spills over into Oregon and naturally excels in the production of Rhône varieties like Syrah, as well as the Bordeaux varieties.
