2021 Kobayashi Syrah Sans Soufre | Walla Walla, Washington 750ml

I need to figure out a way to make more of this wine...One of the best compliments I received all year was that someone in the wine industry blinded their tasting group on the 2019 version of our Sans Soufre Syrah. It was unanimously called out as 'Young Cote Rotie' - some of the producers they conjectured had made it are my favorites. This is Washington wine and we owe a huge thanks to Cam Myhrvold and Ryan Johnson for the vision and ability to plant this north facing mountain and allowing me to take some risks to make something pure and expressive of the vineyard site. This is the stripped down, naked expression of how beautiful Syrah can perform in our region. 100% whole cluster, native fermentation, neutral oak puncheon. | Travis Allen for Kobayashi
