Va Piano Stoney Vineyard Syrah Washington 2015

A princely Syrah from the field Stoney Vine in Walla Walla, Washington! Here you get a real slap for the penny, with tons of juicy fruit and meatiness. Stoney Vine is a relatively young field, planted in 2007, located on the old river bed shaped by the Walla Walla River. Rhône varieties grow here primarily and the field has quickly become a favorite among the lucky few winemakers who have access to the fruit from there.

Va Piano Vineyards is located in Walla Walla, Washington, USA. The company was founded by Justin Wylie, who as a native Walla Walla’rian had the flowering vineyards literally in the backyard. Like so many others, he was drawn to the magic of grapes and began making wine in his garage. It was not long before the passion could be made a living, and in 2003 Va Piano was founded.

Va Piano works with a number of superb fields in Walla Walla, and especially worth mentioning is the eponymous Va Piano field, which is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Cab Franc & Petit Verdot. 70% of the grapes use Va Piano themselves, while the rest are sold to other houses, such as L’Ecole # 41.
