This is just the third vintage for this boutique winery in Milton-Freewater, Ore., and the team of high school chums Jody Middleton and Jeremy Petty appear well on track for success. This Syrah from the nearby foothills starts with telltale aromas of blackberry, vanilla, black pepper and black currants, followed by mouth-filling flavors of ripe plum, dark berry and Baker’s chocolate. It’s distinctive, delicious and was among the stars of the 2014 Walla Walla Valley Wine Competition — earning a rare double gold.
