Martin Woods’ Syrah Rocks District 2022 is a striking expression of one of Washington State’s most unique winegrowing regions, the Rocks District of Milton-Freewater. Known for its rocky, alluvial soils and warm climate tempered by cool nights, the Rocks District offers Syrah that is both powerful and refined, with a depth of flavor that reflects the land’s distinctive characteristics.

The 2022 vintage is a wine that speaks to the boldness of the terroir, with ripe dark fruit—blackberry, plum—intertwined with the peppery spice and savory character that Syrah from this region is known for. The wine’s firm tannins provide structure, while a streak of minerality runs through, balancing the richness of the fruit. On the palate, it’s full-bodied yet well-balanced, with layers of complexity that unfold with each sip.

Martin Woods’ Syrah Rocks District 2022 is a wine made for those who appreciate the bold yet nuanced flavors that can only come from a distinctive terroir like the Rocks District. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, or dishes with smoky, earthy flavors. Whether enjoyed now or allowed to age, this Syrah is a true expression of its place—showcasing the potential of Washington’s unique vineyards.

"The 2022 Syrah The Rocks is a spice box on the nose, cascading with a gorgeous blend of violets, lavender, ground cloves, allspice and orange zest. It possesses creamy textures, nearly weighty in feel but not quite, with citrus-tinged acidity that propels ripe red and black fruits across the palate as sweet inner herbal tones amass toward the close. It’s gently tannic, leaving a flowery concentration and blue and purple inner florals that resonate as hints of licorice fade. The 2022 is wonderfully expressive and immaculately balanced." —vinous

""One of the most exciting domestic US Syrahs, this wine beautifully showcases a well-crafted expression of the ‘classic’ funk of The Rocks. The deep umami notes come from the concentration of flavors in the berries due to the vines’ low yields. Notable aromas of green olives and peppers, violets, and meats complement those flavors. This Syrah includes 50% whole cluster and spends 40 days on the skins, enhancing its complexity and depth.”"

More about Martin Woods

Evan Martin takes terroir to its logical extreme: he doesn't just pour the forest floor into your glass, he built his winery using fallen oak from his own property. That means the slate and minerals in the wine aren't just reflected in the fruit—they're literally in the wood, too. His Willamette Pinots and Chardonnays push what cool-climate Oregon can do with a sommelier's precision and a wild streak.
