Tasting note
The 2017 Hidden Syrah should show dark raspberry, olive and cracked pepper, with smoked herbs in the background. Wahluke Slope fruit is expected to feel generous but not loose, supported by settled tannin and a bright thread of acidity. It has moved beyond its projected 2021 to 2025 peak, though the stated window continues through 2030. If the bottle is sound, its finish should be soft and savory, with berry skin and spice.
