Noah Reed Fox crafted one of the top GSMs of the Platinum, so it stands to reason that his standalone Syrah also achieved Double Platinum. However, this superb Syrah is a blend of historic Red Willow Vineyard in the Mount Adams foothills, Lewis near Prosser and Dineen, which contributed to the 2020 Irish Eyes GSM. Purple fruit and chocolate-covered espresso beans lead into wonderful layers of flavors ranging from Bing cherry, ripe strawberry, eucalyptus, vanilla and tobacco to savory olives and cigar box.
