Stoney Vine Vineyard sits in Walla Walla Valley, and Devison's 2024 comes out of it as 100% Syrah. Deep ruby with a purple core, and every bit of that savory Rocks-adjacent character intact: dark olive, pork belly, purple flower, dark plum. Youthful and precise on the palate, with real structural tannin holding the frame and a long finish that turns toward eucalyptus and quinine. This is Walla Walla Syrah showing its bones, not its makeup.
Tasting Notes
Dark olive, pork belly, purple flower, and dark plum. Precise and youthful on the palate, with structural tannins and a long finish of eucalyptus and quinine. Blend: 100% Syrah Vineyards: Stoney Vine Vineyard AVA: Walla Walla Valley Winemaker comments: Deep, intense ruby in color with a purple core, the 2024 is elegant, bloody, and savory, presenting aromas of dark olive tapenade, pork belly, butcher block, purple flower, and Asian spices. The profile leans heavily into steeped dark plum, blackberry, and brown stems. The palate is primary and youthful, with great precision and minerality framing flavors of plum, blueberry, olive, and blood orange. Structural, energetic tannins add tension to the very long finish, which hints at eucalyptus and quinine (tonic).
