April 18, 2015 - Big fruit on day one that mellowed and demonstrated some unique terroir on day two reminiscent of the northern Rhone. A bit over the top for me, but a very well made wine.

April 26, 2014 - Deep dark color with a mellow fruit. There was a dustiness to it that I totally enjoyed.

November 23, 2012 - Really nice complex Syrah. Bright fruits, Indian spices, coffee, nutmeg. Still a few years young but has everything there to become even better.
