Many of their barrels are filled with juice from the Royal Slope, but Rob and Donna Mellison didn’t need to leave the south shore of Lake Chelan for this Syrah off nearby Larc Hill Vineyard Ranch. This vintage marks the second commercial harvest for this young planting, and the first Platinum with Syrah for Mellisoni. It’s an ethereal experience with enticing black plum and Marionberry featuring sublime oak integration and a delicately beautiful structure. Qualifying award: Seattle Wine Awards (gold)
