2016 K Vintners Milbrandt Syrah Wahluke Slope Columbia Valley

(92 Points) Firm, smoky and meaty, the 2020 Syrah Milbrandt Vineyard starts with a dusty core of crunchy red fruit and blackberry skin before spicy aromas waft out of the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is fresh and juicy on the palate, with a fine mineral mouthfeel and bacon and pink peppercorn flavors. The wine continues to evolve and uncoil, ending with a spicy, mineral-laced finish. The wine spent 16 months in barrel, 30% new French oak. Give it a try.  Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
