ABV: 13.0%. Syrah & Cabernet Sauvignon. Upon opening, the nose is showing a lot of earthy notes of hay and barnyard (possibly brett?), but as it blows off over the next hour, a gorgeous bouquet of roasted Herbes de Provence appears in the foreground with hints of red and black fruits in the background. There's ample acidity on the mid-palate, keeping everything intact, and the tannin level could use some more years in the cellar. This wine is still very tight so I'm hoping that it'll open up and get better tomorrow.

9/2/2023 - Raised the score by three points. The earthy and herby notes have blown off on the nose, revealing dark red fruits and some cassis from the Cab. Lots of raspberry and cherry tones on the mid-palate, supported by good acidity that pushes the profiles to the finish. There's a lot of potential in this wine and I think it can easily cellar for another 5-10 years. If you're planning to open your bottle, decant it for at least an hour. (188 views)

Dark purple wine. First time I had it it was TANIC, still is but they have mellowed. Black fruit dried colors, coffee, game, and coocoa. Not the best wine I have had, but a very solid offering. Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. (1159 views)

Second of two btls. Similar to earlier this year, but this one is quite reduced on the nose. Internationally styled and way jammier than a French syrah ought to be. Not a hard edge in sight here, like falling into a big alcoholic pie. (1321 views)

Tried this first over the Easter weekend 2020. Very pronounced pear and banana on the nose. Tasting it reminded me immediately of Duchesse d'Angouleme pear variety and subtle underripe banana. Very mellow finish. This pairs very well with fish under creamy sauce. (202 views)

Let me start by saying this really isn’t my style. But it’s well made. Felt more Bordeaux than Rhône, with lots of leather, tobacco, and graphite. The dark fruits flavors were subtle, and after awhile they got lost to the acidity. Still drinking well day 2. (891 views)
