--3 Bottles-- 2014 K Vintners The Hustler Syrah, Walla Walla Valley JD--98

Jeb Dunnuck: 98 Points
Lastly, the 2014 Syrah The Hustler comes all from the Walla Walla Valley and spent a whopping 38 months in oak. Despite the long élevage, it’s still fresh and vibrant as can be and has a brilliant bouquet of black raspberries, blackberries, lead pencil, cedar, and ground pepper. Deep, full-bodied, perfectly ripe (not overripe, not underripe), and with remarkable purity, it’s an incredibly sexy yet elegant Syrah that’s going to benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for 15 years or more. 98 (4/2019)
