PROPER 2015 ESTATE SYRAH :: 94 POINTS

Made by Sean Boyd and from 100% Syrah (from the estate vineyard in the Rocks region of Walla Walla) brought up in 18% new French oak, the 2015 Syrah Proper Estate is another inky colored Syrah from this vintage that has a terrific bouquet of blackcurrant, olive tapenade, lavender, and pepper. It's rich, full-bodied, opulent, and sexy on the palate, with a sweet, expansive texture, no hard edges, and a rocking finish. Count me in as a fan. It’s going to keep for 7-8 years.
