2018 Kevin White La Fraternité

Coming from Upland, Boushey and Olsen Vineyards, this wine is half Grenache, 41% Mourvèdre and 9% Syrah. The aromas of peppery spice, earthy, dried herbs, fresh plum, raspberry, smoked meat, black pepper and orange rind rise up from the glass, showing complexity and a classic Yakima Valley profile. The flavours explode with intensity, density, richness and layering along with impressive length. An extended, peppery finish caps it off. This is a big, broad-shouldered wine that still maintains a beautiful sense of balance. SEAN P. SULLIVAN, WINE ENTHUSIAST, 94 points.

Recommendation

Pairs nicely with roasted chicken, grilled pork, Ahi tuna and salmon dishes
