SYRAH Latta "Dana Dibble" (913689)

98% Syrah, 2% Viognier

Our 2019 Dana opens with a classic “Rocks” nose that melds floral, fruit, and funky earth notes. Always an expansive palate full of the wild flavors of the rocks, it carries on with intense depth of fruit and the soaring hibiscus-like notes typical of Tablas Clone Syrah. Lush tannins lift to the long finish.

Freewater Rocks vineyard is located in the Rocks District of Walla Walla. Planted in 2000 in the core of Freewater Cobbly Loam this is an OG vineyard site with four generations of fruit farming behind it. The wine carries "Dana Dibble" for the man who grew up on the dirt, the third generation farmer who transformed these hardscrabble orchards into the manicured rows of vines standing among the stones today. Dana and Andrew have collaborated on many vintages and vineyard projects over the years and we felt his work deserved recognition, hence the "Dana Dibble".
