2007 Vintage Tasting Notes

First Walla Walla Syrah from Trust Cellars, with fruit from Les Collines Vineyard and Va Piano Vineyards.

Trust's take on Walla Walla Syrah shows the versatility of Steve's winemaking. Fat, lush, and fruit forward, Trust Walla Walla 07 features a broad palate of mixed black and red fruits, bacon fat, mocha, vanilla and black pepper. The finish is an avalanche of sweet fruit. 89% Syrah from Les Collines and Va Piano Vineyards, plus 11% Cabernet Sauvignon from Lewis Vineyard. 214 cases made
