Proper Estate Syrah Walla Walla Valley 2016  - First Bottle

Reviews

94 Jeb Dunnuck -
Smoked plums, blueberries, cured meats, and tons of smoked herb notes all emerge from the 2016 Syrah Estate, which is all Syrah brought up in 20% new French oak, with the balance in second fill and neutral barrels. Medium to full-bodied, deep, rounded, and supple, it has a sexy, layered texture, ripe tannins, and delivers a wealth of crazy Walla Walls Syrah fruit. It's a beauty well worth seeking out.

This is ALL THAT. Intense, powerful juice - proper, indeed!! Properly massive, concentrated and brimming over with blueberry pie, blackberry jam and smoky, dark, brooding blue/black fruit, potpourri, incense, smoked meats, tapenade and dark cocoa. Crazy good at this price. If you are familiar with ROTIE CELLARS in WA, winemaker Sean Boyd also makes those high-scoring, much-sought-after wines.

About the Producer

In 2005, Coloradans Conor McCluskey and David Houle partnered together with the vision of pursuing niche business ventures and found a passion for starting a winery. Several years later, Connor and David would be joined by close friends Kevin Dibble, Billy Adams and David Kunstle. In 2011, the Proper Wines brand was born with the release of the first vintage of small batch production Estate Syrah. In January of 2018, Proper Wines merged with Rotie Cellars to become a strong force within The Rocks District of the Walla Walla Valley. Conor, David Houle, Kevin, Billy, David Kunstle and their families have created a standard of excellence that the Rotie family looks forward to partnering with and continuing for years to come. Sean Boyd joined the Proper family in 2010, when he took on the role of winemaker and oversaw the label's first vintages. Sean is also the owner and winemaker at Rotie Cellars, a Walla Walla winery specializing in French-style Rhone Valley blends, which he founded in 2007. Before starting in the wine business in the early 2000s, Sean received a degree in geology and spent 10 years working in gas and oil exploration.
