Today we share an electric newer brand in Washington, founded by winemaker Seth Kitzke. The Devil Is A Liar (TDIAL) is an ultra-premium label that focuses on wines made from WeatherEye Vineyard fruit. Seth has made quite a name for himself with his beautiful and also very well-priced wines under his label UpsideDown Wine, which is wife Audrey helps run as well. TDIAL wines are geared to display intensity and flamboyance — they are not for the weary. I think that they beautifully showcase this site, which is set high on the northern slope of Red Mountain.
I adored the new 2020 The Devil Is A Liar Red Wine (OB, 94) which is dense and heady with fantastic mineral backbone. Even better is the 2021 (95-97) which is the best rendition of this wine that I have tasted so far. Learn more about this really exciting newer brand at http://thedevilisaliarwine.com and here are my reviews of the new TDIAL wines.
2020 The Devil is a Liar Red Wine- This killer new wine spent 30 months in Austrian oak casks before bottling. The final blend was 78% Grenache with Syrah, Mourvèdre and a splash of Viognier. This comes off marvelously perfumed on the nose with violet rose petals, anise and citrus blossom. The palate is round and generous with good freshness and flavor density. Rich red fruits combine with loads of mouth watering acidity. Drink 2023-2035- 94
