This delightful and thoughtfully made wine comes from the estate winery of Morrison Lane in the Walla Walla Valley. The Cotes du Rhone-style red is a blend of 33.3% Counoise, 33.3% Syrah and 33.3% Viognier. I enjoyed it the other night sitting under a big blue sky surrounded by rolling green hills at the country home of Jill and Craig Noble (yes, winemakers like to drink other winemaker's wine).
The nose had a hint of floral and the taste was -- well, it was one of those tastes that -- to be honest? I could have drank the whole bottle! However, the 14.7% alcohol by volume stopped me at 1.5 glasses, while I would have preferred to have 3.3 glasses. The taste was full and lush and well -- I could have poured it over waffles! It was like a mouthful of blueberries! (Note: I am a fan of any Syrah from any winery made with Morrison Lane fruit.)
"33 1/3" is available for purchase and guess for how much? $33.33, of course!
