What a perfect way to start. Thanks Anh Tu!
Served double-blind before we moved onto the Novys. Clearly old, but plenty of life left in all of these.
What a treat to taste through these wines with Adam Lee. California syrah is not generally in my wheelhouse, but I really enjoyed this lineup. Tasting so many young, big and occasionally burly syrahs was a bit difficult for me, so I didn't score them. I think most, if not all, will benefit from time in the bottle.
What a fantastic finish. Thanks Ross!

Fresh strawberries and roses on the nose. More strawberries on the palate. Beautifully balanced and delicious.
