title: Watermill 2009 Praying Mantis Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (OR))
description: The instantly recognizable label, sporting a bright green praying mantis on a plain brown background, is a quirky choice for a fine, estate-grown reserve. The fruit reaches blackberry concentration, with stiff, ripe tannins swathed in dark chocolate. Hints of earth and stem fade out through a lingering finish. It's already drinking well but could be cellared until 2019.
variety: Syrah
designation: Praying Mantis
