 Tasted by AGELVIS on 10/28/2017 & rated 86 points: Cheers Aerated in glass for one hour. Deep maroon color. Honeycomb, wildflowers, spent campfire and smoked meat on the nose. Smooth palate. Firm tannins on medium finish. Although this is dry wine, the baseline Justin from each varietal comes across as a bit too "sweet" for me. The wine is good, but not great. (994 views)

 Tasted by MicklethePickle on 6/12/2017: Good black-purple color, but the nose has a really objectionable hydrogen peroxide smell at first. Still has some elements of violets, fruit. Weirdness continues into the mouth, very odd and flawed. Not rated. (1138 views)

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.

USA

American 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.

California

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
