description: Spring Valley Vineyard, now being dramatically expanded by new owners Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, sits in a unique spot in the Walla Walla appellation. Now, if only the powers-that-be could make these wines at moderate levels of alcohol. Yes, this is delicious. Loaded with raspberry jam, peppery spice, hints of caramel. But the alcohol blows out the detail. Please—pull it back.
variety: Syrah
