2021 Darkness Syrah
The 2021 vintage delivers an elegant, refined version of Darkness with a nose of savory umami goodness laced with black fruited mystery. The palate is packed with blackberry, tapenade, coffee, white pepper and shiitake essence. Vibracidity (new word now) balances lush Syrah to deliver a tension and a cornucopia of deliciousness and joy. What else do you need?

FOUNDERS’ NOTES:
Darkness is our full throttle, wide-open desert island syrah from the Yakima Valley. Dick Boushey and Leif Olsen are arguably among the finest syrah growers in our universe today. We decided to make this wine in 2005 and have never looked back. It has gobs of high scores from many publications, including a 94 from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for the 2014. It's called Darkness because.
