title: Waters 2006 Loess Vineyard Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
description: This Loess is definitely more—more concentration, more ripeness, more Côte Rôtie character than the 2005, but already showing dramatic flavor development. Cofermented with 3% Viognier, it's a silky wine with flavors of blood, meat and earth dominating. Tannins are ripe, and it was barreled in second-fill oak, preserving the natural flavors of the vineyard. Clearly the best so far from Waters.
variety: Syrah
designation: Loess Vineyard
