2016 Scherrer Winery Syrah 'Sasha'Russian River Valley more |
1/22/2024 - STM82 Likes this wine: 94 pointsEmark hit the nail on the head. Such a pretty rendition of Syrah with bright cherry and pomegranate notes. So very silky smooth with a peppery bite on the finish. Almost "pinotesque" in nature. |

3/26/2023 - STM82 Likes this wine: 96 pointsPoured a few ounces on night one and it wasn't showing its stuff. Revisited on night 2 and still needed two hours of air. Finally became harmonious but it shifted many times. I would give this another 2 years in bottle minimum before revisiting. However, that's easier said than done considering how gorgeous this is with ample amounts of air. |

3/3/2023 - STM82 Likes this wine: 91 pointsReally tasty chard. Light and not heavy handed with the oak and allows the fruit to speak with some prickly acidity. |

2020 Stolpman Roussanne L'AvionBallard Canyon more |
2/27/2023 - STM82 Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis was best on the second night. That being said, it's nowhere near a 97 point wine IMHO. It shows honeyed peach and other stone fruit with great acidity, especially considering the varietal. Good wine but not amazing. |

2018 Bedrock Wine Co. Syrah CalicòCalifornia more |
2/1/2023 - STM82 Likes this wine: 94 pointsReally sensational with 2 hours in the decanter. Same notes apply to this bottle that was paired with the flannery burgers. Punches way above its price point. Beautiful satiny texture with great depth |

2017 Andremily MourvèdreSanta Barbara County more |
1/14/2023 - STM82 Likes this wine: 97 pointsWotn on my birthday. Beat out a saxum Bone Rock by a long shot. Previous notes hold true. Plenty of decadent mocha and oak but very integrated with the purple and black fruit at this point. |

2017 Nicora Syrah Bien Nacido VineyardSanta Maria Valley more |
1/12/2023 - STM82 Likes this wine: 95 pointsStunning wine with so much depth. Fresh black fruit and smoked herbs. The mid palate really kicks in to another level with the purity of fruit and cohesive wood. Had high expectations and it blew them away! |

11/3/2022 - STM82 Likes this wine: 93 pointsTouch overripe. If blinded, I would've thought it was a Zinfandel. Nicely made but probably best consumed 2 or 3 years ago. |
