| Community Tasting Notes (average 87.8 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by beezer6 on 3/30/2015 & rated 86 points: Not the best showing. Hot and rich. Dark spicy purple plums, sweet cassis and some elements of pepper but just over the top for me. The finish is hot and not extremely enjoyable. This showing is a pass. Can't win em all. (1781 views) | | | Tasted by DanTheRhoneFan on 3/12/2015 & rated 87 points: Day 1: Deep garnet color. Ruby rim. Slight bricking. Nose of cherry with an alcohol burn. Black cherry up front. Middle of oak and alcohol. Light tannin and oak to finish up. Some disjointedness in the finish.. seems to fall apart. Medium/Long finish.
Day 2: Fruit has nearly disappeared leaving only the oak and alcohol behind. Drink up and drink on night 1.
87pts on Night 1.. 80 on Night 2. (1702 views) | | | Tasted by stubbie999 on 1/21/2015: Oak really sticking out above what seems like pretty syrah fruit. Tannin is pretty much close to resolving, so it's a race to see what will win out over the next couple years. Could be lovely, could have missed the moment when the fruit was in the lead. We'll see.

| Syrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board) |
