4/28/2022 - sayward Likes this wine: 94 pointsDecanted for 2 hours and was very funky until hour 3. Kept trying to approach it but it was giving me tons of barnyard and funky smelling horse. This all blew off in the third hour. Have some patience with this. It is a special wine. The drinking window extends to 2030 IMHO. |

11/28/2014 - ChinonRouge Does not like this wine: 72 pointsI don't like this wine at all. It tastes like cherry cola with alcohol in it. I would call it a wine "beverage product" before calling it a wine.

11/8/2014 - markandsusanw Likes this wine: 91 pointsApprox. 30 min. decant ... This is ripe and rich, but not heavy or oaky. A big, big wine that opens with a big blue-black fruit punch to the palate, followed with bracing tannins and big acid pop, offering balance and interest. There is also spice and some cream, and just a hint of licorice. Drinks like a young wine, with room to develop further.

Not at all overripe or hot, this is well balanced with ample acidity and a firm tannic structure. Cool red and black fruits, savory herbs and bloody meat, black licorice and granitic mineral. Pure and authentic Syrah from California. Brilliant!

3/5/2014 - mattyboy_ wrote: 90 pointsMuch better in its youth and by youth I mean on release. The nose is predictable RRV cinnamon and baking spices and ripe (candied??) strawberry. On the palate there was an artificial flavor aspect which I didn't like. The acidity and freshness this wine possessed on release was just nowhere to be found - now it feels big and clumsy. Disappointing prospects as I really loved this wine and this vineyard.

7/18/2013 - cadamson wrote: 86 pointsI like zippy wines as much as anyone, but this has more acid than 1 60's hippie convention. I am still searching for a dentist to replace the enamel on my teeth. Yes, this wine will outlast me, and probably my future grandchildren, but I wonder if it will ever tone down some to let the elegant light red fruit be enjoyed. I don't know how the hell to score this as future potential seemingly will get it up to the high 80's, but now....

7/5/2013 - t_moderne wrote: 92 pointsPop and pour and served with BBQ baby back ribs with a tomato based sauce. Big, rich and dark wine. Some sweetness from the grenache. Shows good spice and earth notes. Presents a bit of heat with the spice from the BBQ sauce. Better without spicy foods. This has enough acidity to carry the richness of the fruit.

5/16/2022 11:18:00 AM - The wine was decanted for two hours and then consumed over 1-2 hours. I didn't bring the wine, and we were drinking it in a small group. I was drinking it initially to be polite and thinking the wine was amazingly funky. The wine is drinking well now, just wait for it to get enough air. We likely drank 1/3 of the bottle when it was not in the right place. Sometimes that happens when everyone is trying to be polite.
