2022 "The Psychedelic" Syrah - Walla Walla Valley AVA For a more modern and powerful take, this wine is a fantastic choice. It showcases the dark fruit and richness that the hot climate provides, but with a complex undercurrent of that signature Rocks minerality and savory character. It's a crowd-pleaser that still tells a story about its home.

2021 Cayuse Cailloux Vineyard Syrah - Walla Walla Valley AVA You can't talk about The Rocks without talking about Cayuse. Winemaker Christophe Baron is the one who originally saw the potential in all of these rocks. Grown in the cobblestone soils of The Rocks District of Milton-Freewater, this Syrah is famous for its bold, earthy character, with notes of smoked meat, black olive, and dark berries. The unique terroir imparts a distinct minerality and richness.

2022 PASXA Rockgarden Grenache- The Rocks Milton Freewater AVA This is a wine that gets a ton of buzz for a reason. While Grenache is often known for its bright red fruit, Pášxa's version has a gorgeous savory side that comes from the Rocks. Critics often describe it with notes of "smoky stones," "umami," and a mineral salinity that perfectly complements the red fruit flavors. It's a great example of how the terroir can transform a grape.
