June 7, 2020 - May have waited too long to try this wine. Nevertheless, enjoyed with Sunday afternoon pesto pasta and chicken enchiladas. Blackberries on the nose; decanted and strained to remove the sediment; nice spice and pepper on the palate with ample acidity.

May 31, 2015 - This was nice and the fruit was relatively good, but not nearly as good as the 2010 bedrock syrah we had a few days before. Just didn't have the same level of richness. Could be the vines just weren't as old with the GF.

April 22, 2015 - Pop/Pour. Solid dark leaning red fruit, which are especially bright and tasty on the mid palate which falls off a bit on the medium/short finish. The attack was odd as it initially felt a bit tired but the mid palate was full of fresh fruit. Very good, but not sure I would seek out again as one could do MUCH better for the price ($25-$45)
