2010 K Vintners Syrah Cougar Hills Walla Walla

Once again classic Cougar Hills. This wine opens with black olive, dried orange peel, and pink peppercorns, then gives way to sea salt and iodine with a baseline of roasted earth. One Rockin’ Wine.

(93 Points) From deep, loamy soils and a north facing slope located to the west of The Rocks region of the Walla Walla Valley, the 2010 Syrah Cougar Hills is an age worthy effort that boasts complex aromas and flavors of kirsch liqueur, crushed stone, ground pepper and dried flowers. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad, chewy effort that maintains an overall sense of elegance and freshness. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years. Drink now-2025.
