TruthTeller 2016 The Cynic Syrah

TruthTeller 2016 The Cynic Syrah


Walla Walla Valley produces some world-class examples of Syrah and this example from TruthTeller Winery beautifully straddles the line between fruit forward and savory offerings. On the nose, it showcases dark jammy fruit balanced with notes of cigar box, baking spices, black peppercorn and hints of smoked charcuterie. Flavors allude to clove-spiced plum sauce with a delightful graphite minerality and earthy notes of tobacco leaf that finish displaying polished tannins. This wine includes 5% Viognier, elevating its aromatic qualities. - Reviewed by Gary Hayes
