Three of Cups 2015 Les Collines Vineyard L’Astre Syrah, Walla Walla Valley, $30
L’astre translates to “the star,” and Mike Metheny brought this lot of Syrah from Les Collines Vineyard back to the Artisan Hill district of Woodinville. His work, which involves a 35% new French oak program, retained the characteristics of that site in the foothills of the Blue Mountains above the Walla Walla Valley. Plums, blueberry and cherry include complex notes of basil, evergreen forest and wet granite. Bright flavors bring juicy flavors of boysenberry and pomegranate that are capped by a turn of a pepper mill. Enjoy with bold meats such as lamb or venison.
Rating: Excellent
Production: 101 cases
Alcohol: 14.8%
