Tasting Notes
The Hors Catégorie Syrah 2019 is a monumental expression of cool-climate Syrah, crafted by Christophe Baron, renowned for his mastery of Rhône-style wines in Washington State. It opens with soaring aromas of blackberry, plum compote, smoked meat, crushed violet, olive tapenade, and cracked pepper, layered with hints of charcoal, granite, and forest herbs. On the palate, it’s full-bodied yet ethereal, offering stunning purity and depth. The texture is silky, mineral-driven, and finely detailed, culminating in a finish of extraordinary length and precision.
Vintage Highlights
The 2019 growing season was marked by a cool spring and long, even ripening, producing fruit of impeccable balance and concentration. The steep, rocky slopes of Hors Catégorie Vineyard, perched above the North Fork of the Walla Walla River, provided perfect drainage and mineral intensity. Aged for 22 months in French oak barrels (around 15% new), this Syrah marries energy, structure, and refinement — the essence of world-class terroir.
Why It’s Special
The Hors Catégorie Syrah represents the pinnacle of Christophe Baron’s vision — a wine that rivals the great Côte-Rôties of France. The 2019 vintage, awarded a perfect 100 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, captures the profound tension between fruit and earth, opulence and restraint. With only a few hundred cases produced, it is one of the most coveted Syrahs in America, celebrated for its longevity and soul.
