Nothing out of place. Well made. Drinking well. Not super exciting. Good for guests. (2927 views) | ||||

Dark-minus claret in color with a nose of light oak and good fruit. Get a lot of dark cherry, smoked meat and leather aromas. The wine is dry with soft tannins, good acidity and low heat. This is a nice food syrah at 13.5%, and really appreciated to see a Napa Syrah that's not a glass of syrupy, caramel flavored bigness. Drink it now, it's on the tail end. (4377 views) | ||||

This is my last bottle, and it is definitely the best. One of my few positive garagiste experiences. Popped and poured. A little tar, clove/nutmeg/thyme, and bloody meat on the nose. Significant red fruit (plum). Tannins are smooth. Thyme/tarragon finish lingers for a while. For the price, this is awesome. I wish I had more. (4046 views) | ||||

Irresistible from PnP. A couple of years ago this seemed a bit austere, but now it's singing. Initial nose showed some telltale Syrah tar, but from there it went on an evolution that seemed at times a bit Pinot and a bit Cab Franc, but a common thread was a neat spice - allspice, nutmeg - and bramble, with high red fruit notes interlaced with dark fruits, sometimes seeming nearly baked, but never heavy. All the time it had a mid-weight profile with finishes that lasted until the next sip, but not at all heavy or extracted. Patience paid off. Drink up. (4872 views) | ||||

Based on the fact that I bought this from Garagiste, I was somewhat surprised that this wine started off with lots of oak, but it softened and diminished with time. Stewed plums, rubber tire and leather on the palate. Lingering finish with bramble and eucalyptus. More Rhone style and flavors than the typical Cali Syrah. (4615 views) | ||||

CT reviewer Bob Fyke review seems to express some of my impressions of this wine. It is not like other Cali Syrahs I have tasted (Dumol, Alban, Tensley, Tablas Creek) and the memory of these wines gave me expectations this would be similar. it was not. My first impression is the fruit had passed prime and faded, but I think this is the style of this wine; subdued and subtle. I can see how it would appeal to some as an Old world style, which for me is more structured and less dense than what I'm used to. It was very easy to drink and did have some unusual flavors i couldn't place, but nothing offensive. One the second/third day my wife had some and said a good table wine and I'm inclined to agree. Would go good with food but nothing stands out as exceptional. Just so so for me. Drink now. (3360 views) | ||||

A delightfully graceful syrah with luscious caramel and dark cherry on the palate. Popped this a few hours before dinner and this disappeared fast. Fantastic! Garagiste nailed this one. (2356 views) | ||||

Much better on days 2 and 3. Fruit was muted on first day. (3325 views) | ||||

Great northern rhone nose of tar and dark blue fruit. Somewhat heavy on the first night. On the second night, far too fruity and sweet, with no nuances. This is a special and unique wine via Garagiste, worth studying? As the rope said, I'm afraid not. | ||||

Restrained but interesting on Day 1. Some smoke, stems, and fruit. Day 2 it lost it, especially as it warmed. Score reflects day 1. (1688 views) | ||||

color: darkish purple velvet; nose: oak, blackberry; taste: medium-bodied mouth feel, restrained fruit taste, medium-long finish with a touch of smoke and green pepper; overall: fruity and balanced, but so-so QPR ($26) and I also wouldn't call it fresh tasting (1961 views) | ||||

an interesting mix of blackberry, fennel, smoke, and mineral notes in the aromas and flavors. (2860 views) | ||||
