TWO VITNERS Some Days Are Stones

(Walla Walla Valley, Washington State) $50

If you need something new and spectacular to accompany the Christmas prime rib, this is it. Walla Walla has become the syrah capital of the U.S. and the sheer number of delicious, opulent, flavor-packed, loaded-with-personality syrahs is stunning. This one is wild and vivid, with arcs of spice, forest, stones, woodland smoke, and roasted meat juices. It’s a carnivore’s red. It’s also powerful, sensual and tempestuous. (You’ll see.) Splash it into a decanter to give it air before serving.
