Note di degustazione
The 2021 Syrah Armada Vineyard lifts from the glass with a high-toned bouquet, as dusty rose and violet tones give way to hints of white smoke, baking spice and black raspberry. This envelops the palate with soft and round textures, displaying noticeable weight and energy. Its fresh acidity propels its ripe red and blue fruit nuances. The 2021 finishes with a liquid floral concentration and pleasantly chewy sensation, leaving sweet tannins that frame the experience without slowing its momentum. I love the unbridled energy here.

One of the bigger, richer wines in the lineup, the 2021 Syrah Armada Vineyard comes from a high-density vineyard located just beside the cellar and was brought up all in demi-muids. This deeper ruby/plum-hued Syrah boasts a big, masculine bouquet of smoked red and black fruits, sauteed mushrooms, cured meats, iron, and cold fireplace nuances (it almost has a Graves-like character) that flows to a medium to full-bodied, rich, concentrated Syrah with terrific overall balance, ripe tannins, and a great finish. As with the other 2021s here, it needs lots of air to show at its best and will ideally be given 4-5 years in the cellar. It's going to hit its 20th birthday in fine form.
Displaying a lighter color with a medium ruby hue, the 2021 Syrah Armada Vineyard has a spicy, complex, broad and structured nose, with fresh aromas of black cherries, blackberry skin, violets and rose blossoms. The palate, firm and food friendly, features a distinctive tannic edge that's meant for red meats. Unmistakably Syrah from Walla Walla Valley, this is a gorgeous beauty, and I'm going back to finish the glass. The wine spent 21 months aging in a combination of new and used French oak. 7,632 bottles were produced.
Very structured and firmly tannic, this muscular wine comes from tightly spaced vines that give a low yield and lots of concentration. Floral and spicy aromas lead to rich, dark cocoa, blackberry and baked blueberry flavors restrained by the sandy, full tannins. From biodynamically grown grapes. Best from 2029.
