Soft tannins, medium to full body. Lower acidity than expected. The dark fruit notes come to the fore. Nice match with Santa Maria style tri tip. (64 views)

Notes of dark cherry and spice. Decanted 1 hour. Had a bottle a year ago that I enjoyed much more. This one seemed way too big and too hot, to the point of being unbalanced. (62 views)

Very young, even with a decant it was still a bit muted on the nose and tight on the pallet. What was there at this point was promising. There was a nice brooding dark fruit character for that grape. 91-92 with 2 or 3 points of upside. (103 views)

26% whole cluster. 100% Syrah this vintage.
Medium nose shows black fruit tones, violets, black pepper. Palate is juicy, expressive, black plum, blackberry, medium spice, sweet herbs, pretty serious structure behind it all, high tannins and alcohol. Would prefer with some age, but it should do well there. (247 views)

71% Petite Sirah, Mourvedre, Grenache, Syrah.
Medium minus nose shows blackberry, violets, black pepper, wet rock. Palate shows black fruit, nice juicy style without being overdone, medium plus tannins, black plums, mineral tones, iron. Smoother than some PS I've had. A little pricey. (123 views)

Medium nose shows red and black fruit, plum, red hots, wet rock, blackberry. Palate is nicely expressive, layers of black fruits, spice tones, rocky feel, Szechuan, bramble, medium plus structure behind it. Decidedly New World but not overdone. Might be best of their lineup and also most affordable. (215 views)

56/39/5 Grenache Blanc/Viognier/Roussanne.
Medium plus nose shows white flowers, crisp citrus, light spice. Palate is rounder than expected, some creamy and nutty tones, then acidity cuts into it nicely, white melon, lime and lemon peel, has some Rhone like qualities, but with CA freshness. Should also age well. (72 views)
