Tasting notes
Bright medium ruby. Musky scents of black raspberry, black olive tapenade, smoked meat and exotic woodsmoke; showing the wild Old World side of Syrah. Plush, broad, silky and mouthfilling if without quite the complexity promised by the nose. But this densely packed, seamless Syrah seems quite young and appears to have the stuffing and energy to gain in nuance with a few more years in bottle. Finishes with captivating sweetness and plush tannins.

The top Syrah of the estate, the 2014 Singularity comes from the estate vineyard located on western side of the Yakima Valley and is brought up all in new oak. In 2014 (as in all vintages), it's a meaty, beefy, smoky wine that always brings to my mind a top Côte Rôtie from the Guigal family. Smoked meats, cured bacon fat, chocolate, blackcurrants and licorice nuances flow to a full-bodied, impeccably balanced, seamless Syrah that has nicely integrated acidity, ripe tannin and a great finish. While it's one of the more approachable vintages for this cuvee, it will still benefit from short term cellaring and keep for 15+ years.
