   New to The Walls’ lineup, the Mahana is a suave and elegant syrah with funk from Rocks fruit. Impressive and worth adding to your cellar at $56.

   Poor quality, tasted like a cheap red wine. Regretted purchasing it after tasting at the winery.

   My first trip to Walla Walla; 5/12/2022-5/14/2022 (Walla Walla, Washington), : River Rock Vineyard, Walla Walla Valley. Sappy, red fruit, but a touch sweet. Interesting, not great. 30% Grenache which explains the sweetness.

   Valdemar Cellars Walla Walla Syrah Festival Grand Tasting: Pášxa and Walls Table were great. Least favorite of the 4, but still 92 points. Dark berries, coffee beans, roasted meat, white pepper, and olives with a medium finish.

   Enjoyable wine with good mouth feel and complexity. Only 2019 available on website. Possible bad bottle in previous review.

   Young wine with high acidity. Needs a couple more years of cellaring for cherry notes to develop.

   Bright red fruit dominates with some Rocks funk underneath. Incredibly smooth with silky tannins. 89 the way I tasted it, but probably closer to 92 at the proper temp.

   River Rock’s Walls wine is worth its $40 price. Blue and savory on the nose with added meaty notes on the palate.

   Full-bodied with rich mouthfeel. Improved after vacuum-sealing on day two. Scored 92.

    Rock-style PnP with cured meats, bacon fat, olive, tobacco, and black pepper. Brighter finish than 2019. Good.

    Richard Raney – February 22, 2023

    Clean red and black fruits, subtle hints of eucalyptus, mint, tobacco leaf, meats and smoke. Refreshing, not overly “Rocks” in style. Good juice!

    Deep musky nose with pleasant fruit and modest chalk. Enjoyable, though slightly thin finish.

    The 2019 Syrah Mahana has a rocking nose of red and blackberry fruits as well as flowery incense, peppery spice, and sandalwood. It has a rounded, mouth-filling texture, full-bodied richness, and sweet tannins as well as brilliant balance, all pointing to a great Syrah that will have 10-15 years of longevity.
