  • 2017 Kevin White Winery La Fraternité - USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley (12/12/2019)
    Day 1: Big fan of Kevin White Winery! Rustic with raspberries, underbrush, violets, stone and perfume. Excellent concentration and medium plus finish. Balanced and a tremodous value for the price. Love it. 93 points (93 pts.)

Love these wines too John, and while prices have crept up a little, still a silly value for the asking price tag. I lean towards the Hommage (Syrah) but this sounds tasty.

Day 2: Getting some really nice white pepper elements. Also featuring raspberries, violets, stone, underbrush and perfume. Real rustic edge to this wine. Very CDP like. Medium plus finish. 93+ (93 points)

Day 3: White pepper, smoke, violets, cherry, raspberries and underbrush. Really nice showing on day 3. Medium plus finish. 93 points
Recommendation: These wines will age nicely for a decade from the vintage.

Hommage is maybe a half a point better. Both rocking for the price.

Kevin is doing a great job. I wonder how much longer he’ll keep his day job.
