Some of the intrigue may be in part due to the 12% Roussanne winemaker Tim Narby added to tone down the floral, fruity characteristics. Compared to most Viogniers, this release is much lighter on its feet and is more delicate than most.

:Nota Bene 2019 Angiolina Vineyard Syrah – This bears the hallmarks of a cooler vintage, accenting the herbal, savory flavors with a peppery twist. The fruit runs from rhubarb to red currant, with brambly, wild-picked raspberries along for the ride. It might be considered a northern Rhône style, with a base of clean earth streaked with minerals. Definitely a wine worth spending some time with, it’s an excellent comp to the better known and comparable Syrahs from the Red Willow vineyard. 50 cases; 14.35%; $30 (Yakima Valley) 92/100

:Nota Bene 2019 Una Notte GSM Blend – Grenache dominates, with 11% each Syrah and Mourvèdre completing this GSM red. It’s got a few years of bottle age under its cork but retains plenty of fresh raspberry fruit, backed with darker highlights of earth and char. Those flavors continue through the finish, adding highlights of espresso grounds and charred steak. In fact a tri-tip might be exactly right for this bottle. 114 cases; 14.35%; $35 (Columbia Valley) 90/100
