Int'l Wine Review
The scintillating Estate Syrah from Force Majeure comes from The Rocks District and is another wonderful, and nearly perfect, Syrah from the area. Evoking notes of blue plums, wild blueberries, lavender, roasted game, white grapefruit zest, and cedary herbs, it is a deep and luxuriant Syrah that gifts a velvety finish and perfect mouthwatering acidity. You can’t go wrong with any of the 2021 Syrahs from Force Majeure, so pick them up if you can find them. About 350 cases were crafted.

The outstanding 2021 Force Majeure ‘Walla Walla Estate’ Syrah was stored for 18 months in used large format French oak before bottling. The nose comes off fragrant and very stony with wet gravel notes that combine with huckleberry, dried herbs and shades of milk chocolate. The palate is soft and seamless, with serious verve and a pillowy mouthfeel. Rich and layered, this is a gorgeous wine from this estate vineyard that is showing some serious promise. Drink 2024-2038

Plums, blueberries, smoked meats, violets, and peppery, meaty, iron-like notes all emerge from the 2021 Syrah Walla Walla Estate, another incredible wine from winemaker Todd Alexander. All varietal that was fermented with 30-40% whole clusters, it's medium to full-bodied, has a beautifully pure, elegant mouthfeel, integrated tannins, and a great finish. Drink this killer bottle of wine over the coming 10-15 years.

Vinous
The perfumed 2021 Syrah Walla Walla Estate wafts up with notes of incense, cedary spice and dried black cherry. Cool-toned yet velvety in feel, this impresses with a sweet-and-sour blend of wild berries. Tactile minerals emerge through the structured finish as the 2021 tapers off with hints of licorice and dark chocolate. This is the first vintage of the Walla Walla Estate Syrah, which hails from a vineyard that's half in The Rocks District and half in a parcel that contains silty loam soils.
