Review:

Jesse's flagship wine is sourced from the "Grand Cru" of the Walla Walla Valley, the soil of ancient cobblestones from the Walla Walla River. This is a cooler interpretation of Syrah, coming from low-yielding Riverrock Vineyard, attentively grown by a Milton Freewater native, Dana Dibble. Seventy-five percent whole cluster ferment, followed by 22 months in neutral French oak (one puncheon and three barrels). 125 cases produced. - Jesse

2009 Vintage

From the ancient Walla Walla rocks comes this pure, layered, impressive new Syrah. Baked plums fuse with dark red and black berries, subtle violet and gravel. While Garde Manger is made for early drinking, Riverrock is made for aging. I recommend decanting if you're having this now, or stashing a few away for several years to allow the full potential of this beauty to shine. - Marcus

Syrah from the Riverrock Vineyard. This vineyard, on the oregon side of the Walla Walla Valley located in the grand cru of the AVA, is a unique site and is the new worlds answer to Chateauneuf de Pape's famed gallets.
