This evening I'm going with a sort-of Southern Rhone-style wine from Force Majeure in the Walla Walla Valley of Oregon up against the Washington State line. The "sort-of" is that the 2017 vintage I found has no Grenache in it, and the dominant characteristic is of a Syrah (86% of the blend) that enjoyed a very warm summer.
It's certainly well-made, while being denser and higher in alcohol (14.9%) than I generally expect to find from an Oregon or Washington State producer. No complaints, though; most new wines I try are to discover just what they're like and if I'd like to buy more of them, that being a great deal of my interest in trying them out.
This is a producer whose wines I'll see if I can buy more of them locally.
