2024 "Levitation" Reserve Syrah 750mL - NEW WINE CLUB RELEASE
The 2024 Levitation Syrah is 100% Syrah sourced from two amazing high elevation vineyard sites - Lewis Vineyard (63%) in the Yakima Valley, and Les Collines Vineyard (37%) in the Walla Walla Valley. The result of 27% whole cluster fermentation and aging in a combination of concrete tanks and French oak (only 17% new), the wine is dark violet-purple in color, has a bright, concentrated entry that is seamless, yet powerful, and aromas of fresh herbs, mountain wildflowers, roasted meats, and bacon fat, leading to a dark, savory, lingering palate. Cellar-worthy for sure, but enjoy it now and you won't be disappointed! As always, our Levitation Syrah is best enjoyed with great food, music, and friends. Cheers!

Beautiful dark berry fruits, peppery herbs, game, graphite, and violet notes all emerge from the 2019 Syrah Levitation Reserve, a Saint-Joseph-like Syrah that's medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and elegant. I love its tannins, and the purity of fruit is top notch. Drink it over the coming decade. This wine is 100% Syrah that saw 52% stems and 16 months in a mix of concrete and 20% new French oak puncheons. 95 Points
