| Description: | 100 points Jeb Dunnuck: Another off the charts eff ort is the 2015 Syrah Cattle King Upland Vineyard, which is also saturated purple/black in color. Possessing a more backward, yet insanely pure bouquet of crème de cassis, black fruits, smoked earth, graphite, and violets, it's beautifully concentrated, has no hard edges, thrilling purity, and a gorgeous, layered, awesome, multi-dimensional style. It needs short-term cellaring but is a monumental wine from Washington. (4/2018). 95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 2015 Syrah Cattle King is deep and brooding, unfurling in the glass with notes of crème de cassis, plum preserve, incense and burning embers. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and layered, with a deep core of concentrated fruit that conceals a chassis of fine-grained but abundant tannins that only assert themselves on the finish. Though it's more powerful than The Beautiful, Cattle King isn't as complex, multifaceted or graceful, but it's a very persuasive Washington Syrah in its own right. (wk) (6/2018). 94 points James Suckling A southern slope site called Upland Vineyard. This has a dark-plum and dark-chocolate edge with a deeply spicy edge. Follows through to a palate that has fruit flesh dialed-in. Bold and powerful on the palate, it delivers a slab of blackberry and plum fruit but still snaps fresh. (5/2018). Winemaker's Notes: "a powerhouse. The quintessential iron fist in a velvet glove. Blackberry undergrowth, tanned leather, tar and tobacco. Cool fireplace. Not for lack of words a perfect wine. 100% Syrah, 100% whole cluster, native yeast, 43 days on skins, 50% new, 50% neutral puncheons, 20 months barrel-aged on lees." |
