DSS Red fruit sherbert, blackcurrant on the nose. Light Grenache style with some acidity on the palate. Nice, bright and could cut some meat well.

We enjoyed this dark purple Syrah. It has a bit of spice on the nose and a melange of black fruit, mineral and a bit of herbal flavors. We found hints of cola and spice on the palate. We enjoyed it over two days. It was a good value as well.

Beautiful bouquet with citrus and oaky flavors. On the palate some butter, green apple, juicy acidity, pleasant bitterness and juicy acidity. Great length. Very beautiful wine.

7/5/2023 - henrygjeffreys Likes this wine: NR

Blend of marsanne, roussanne, picpoul and grenache blanc
Peachy nose, almonds,
Intense and nervy, and then full and creamy. Has a great freshness here that stops it being fat like some Rhone whites.
Apparently the picpoul really helps here, keeping acidity in the hot climate.

Lemony nose, with apricots, great freshness here.
INtense and mineral with a nutty finish. Another one that feels quite tightly coiled. Needs time but big potential I think.

7/5/2023 - henrygjeffreys Likes this wine: NR

This was made using a much higher percentage of oak than they used to use, 25% I believe.
Toasty nose, lots of lean fruit,
HIgh acidity on the palate, long and nutty, Quite a noticeably oaky style especially tasted alongside current vintages. I think this needs a little time.

Intense nose, lemony, lemon rind,
Nervy and intense on the palate, very creamy with notes of almond. Very very long. Fascinating wine, tightly coiled at the moment but promises much for the future.

7/13/2021 - scg Likes this wine: 92 points

Drinking beautifully, extremely smooth, with solid backbone and medium smooth tannins that hold the wine in focus. Mature edges with massive nose of vanilla cherry, blackberries and subtle blueberries. Nose follows through on the palate with peripheral scents of olive tamponade and oak vanillin.
Served with spinach and prosciutto salad mixed with walnuts, figs and P. Reyes blue cheese.
Thought this bottle was a dead soldier.. but gives me hope for the other two. Still has a few years of life left.

7/3/2021 - Eclectic Palate Likes this wine: 91 points

Picked up a bottle of this at Spectrum wine auctions as a learning experienced. Allowed to rest two months after shipping. Cork in pristine shape, and based on how the wine showed, it's apparent that this wine was properly stored in a temperature controlled setting throughout its life and representative of how the wine should taste. Flash decanted (granular sediment as the wine was at most only lightly filtered) as I expected the wine to fade, which was not the case at all as there was still a respectable level of tannin and abundant fruit in the red spectrum; primarily raspberry with slight cherry. No oak showing, and only slight secondary aromas or tastes which makes me think the wine has not yet peaked as I would expect a properly stored bottle to start showing more secondary traits in 2 to 4 years. If I had this blind, based on how non-evolved the wine was, I would have thought a 2013 Napa, rather than a 2001. The back label notes are clearly accurate as Michael indicates that he focuses on low yield and balance. Low yield is apparent based on the incredible longevity of this wine, and balance is demonstrated by the 13.5% alcohol.

This wine has a nose of dried cherries, cedar, pencil shavings, raspberries, strawberry jam, black licorice, red earth, and tobacco. The wine seems light at the beginning; yet, that is a mirage. As you take in the sip, the tannins explode in your mouth and the finish is long and smooth with no alcohol bite whatsoever. The wine is drinking outstanding at this point, even though it may be pushing the drinking window. Thinking back on the nice private tasting we had with Kristi Seitz at the Soda Canyon Store in May 2010 during our visit to San Francisco, Napa, and Sonoma.
