Tasting notes
2017 Eternal Darkness Syrah- The darkness is coming! Let it in, enjoy it, embrace it and savor it! This cult classic is back with a vengeance. The nose, oh man, the nose! This wine just smells structured and complete like a Stephen King novel. Dark fruit notes of black cherry, caramel and vanilla ice cream over cherry. On the palate this wine lifts you up with notes of bing cherry. A gritty long-lasting finish will remind you of the Darkness long after you’ve finished your bottle. You could say it’s Eternal Darkness. Drink now – 12 years.

Dwelley Vineyard.
Walla Walla Valley AVA
Established in 2014 by owner and winemaker Brad Binko. Brad grew up in Buffalo, NY and spent time at Northeastern University, University at Buffalo, and the WWCC Enology and Viticulture program which he is a graduate of. He is a certified sommelier and ran fine dining wine programs in Charleston, SC before moving to Walla Walla to follow his dreams of making wine. As a Sommelier Brad loves wine that show a true sense of where that wine came from. Its enjoyable to be able to taste 2 different wines made from vineyard directly next to each other. You can harvest the same day and even do the same additions but the final product will be dramatically different due to the native yeast in the vineyard and the micro terrior of each vineyard. Eternal wines focuses on native yeast, small lot productions with an emphasis on Rhone varietals and age worthy wines.
