A pretty, elegant and focused effort, the 2012 Syrah Loess Walla Walla exhibits beautiful purity of fruit to go with notions of loamy soil, underbrush, smoked meat and classic minerality on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, balanced and fresh, this beauty comes all from Leonetti's estate vineyard and was co-fermented with 4% Viognier and then aged in 20% new French oak. Already drinking nicely, it will evolve gracefully for over a decade. 92 points. Wine Advocate
