Tasting Notes:
94% Syrah, 6% Viognier
Owing to its high elevation far up the South Fork of the Walla Walla River, Resurgent Vineyard is a rare gem in the Walla Walla Valley. While planted in deep basalt cobblestones, Resurgent lies far upstream from the Rocks District AVA, in a notably cooler site. Think of it as a cool-climate rocks wine: it marries the complex geology of basalt cobblestone soils with fresh mountain air. The resulting Syrahs are picked almost a full month later than the Rocks District, which makes it lighter in body, brighter in acid, and lower in alcohol. We find this Syrah to possess oodles of earthy, forest-floor aromatics. Aromas of crushed cedar, pine detritus, brown spices and ginger overlay a core of tobacco-accented brambly fruit. Complex, intriguing, and original, this wine will delight the senses.
