7/23/2023 - RichEB1 Likes this wine: 90 pointsLast bottle and I'm not sure if I liked it more now or a few years ago (and this is coming from someone who typically perfers a little age on their zins). Restrained Pagani fruit but maybe lacking a bit of the 'energy' from my last bottle in 2019. I still enjoyed this and it was an incredible QPR.....but I'd say drink up sooner than later. |

4/21/2023 - cobbpa Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis works for satisfying what I prefer out of new world Pinot. Similar to my last note, the fruit is ripe & dark without feeling confected. Med+ body has some earthy tones (tea, underbrush) beneath it to work with the acidity and add complexity. |

4/16/2023 - cobbpa wrote: 91 pointsIn great shape. Bit of green peppercorn & singed herbs on the nose, sitting above dark blue & black berry fruits. Touch of vanilla bean is there as well. Med+ weight on the palate with a nice anise note & bit of creamy midpalate. Med tannins & acid hold up with good length. Enjoyed with a mix of kalbi ribs & steak. |

10/8/2022 - Paul Lin wrote: 86 pointsWoodsy aromas of raw meat, mushrooms, volcanic ash, and white pepper. Spicy notes of plum, earth, beef, and grilled peppers. Resolved tannins, good texture, but a little stodgy for me and not a wine I can drink a lot of. |

7/14/2022 - cobbpa Likes this wine: NRLeads with cool dark cherry & a touch of berry fruit. With air a bit of black tea shows up. The fruit is ripe without feeling sweet. That tea note comes through to balance & nicely add a bit of complexity. Easy finish with robust flavors. |

4/20/2022 - Neecies wrote: NRDark and opaque. Blueberry fruit with fennel, black licorice and maple bar. Big bodied, modern and almost unctuously sweet with no signs of being 15 years old. Well made for what it is, but it isn't my kind of wine. |

4/7/2022 - prasm Likes this wine: 90 pointsPnP, consumed over 2 hours. Appearance: Clear, medium ruby with no bricking. Nose: Clean, medium intensity with developing aromas of black cherry, blood orange, baking spice, and tomato leaf with hints of new shoe leather. Palate: Dry, medium acid, medium- tannin, 14.2% abv, medium body, medium+ intensity with flavors of tart black cherry, blood orange, and herbs with a medium+ finish. A very good wine overall with excellent complexity, intensity, and length. Can drink now or over next 2-4 years. |

3/26/2022 - prasm Likes this wine: 90 pointsPnP, consumed over 4 hours. Appearance: Clear, dark ruby with just the slightest edge bricking. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity, blackberry, black cherry, black olive, leather, dark earth, and black pepper. Palate: Dry, medium acid and tannin, 14.4% abv - would have guessed 14.7% - 15.0%, medium intensity, medium+ body with flavors of black olive, ripe blackberry, black pepper, leather, and tobacco with a medium+ finish. Overall a very good wine excelling in complexity and length, seems to be at peak or just past (bottle was purchased upon release and stored in my passive basement cellar) - drink now or over next 2 years. |

1/16/2022 - cobbpa wrote: 91 pointsHolding up quite well. Plenty of dark berry fruit, with great components of herb, tea, and a bit of pepper spice (whole cluster). Nice creamy midpalate with nice acid support. Likely has several years of life left at least. |

1/4/2022 - tenorselbow wrote: 93 pointsVery moreish. Lovely nose of raspberry essence, sherbet and newly-rained on earth. Substantial mouth of milk chocolate, ruby red grapefruit, blueberries and eucalyptus bark. Long finish of licorice, Maltesers and plum skins. I think I can even detect some toasted oak halfway through the finish. |

12/31/2021 - kanab ram Likes this wine: NRArrived the other day from a recent winery offering of the 2008 vintage Jemrose and Judge Syrahs. PnP'd. Seamless and balanced with plush dark mouthwatering fruits and a lengthy chalky finish. This is in a great place and should easily age another 5 years before declining. |

12/11/2021 - cobbpa wrote: NRNice. Dried dark blueberries & a little black cherry to it, with some florals beneath that on the nose & some stemmy black spice showing here & there. Touch warm in the midpalate, but otherwise decent backend balance. I'll probably drink my one remaining bottle in the next year-ish |

10/26/2021 - kanab ram Likes this wine: NRConsistent with my last note from two years ago, but even better. This could easily go another 5 years. Great QPR. Should be rated much higher than the 89 on CT :( |

8/15/2021 - cobbpa Likes this wine: NRStill quite lively. Dark fruits, peppercorns, touch of herbs/tea. Med+ body has slimmed down a bit vs the last bottle a few years back. Still decent backend structure, but I'd probably drink in the next couple years. |
