April 3, 2021 - still drinking very well, although I would drink up, I would guess it has lost several points since it's peak. Dark purple color, dark black fruit, spice and pepper. The meat and smoke flavors have mellowed. very nice. last glass on day 2 is showing very well, did not lose anything having been open 24 hrs.

September 9, 2020 - PnP. Opaque ruby/black. Full bodied. Spicy black fruit, with strong cherry/strawberry/raspberry overtone. Ground black and green pepper. Very long finish. Epitome of a Central Coast Syrah. Still a few years left.

August 26, 2019 - The nose was gorgeous from the very first tilt of the glass, showing sweet herbs with a spitz of spicy orange, offsetting sweet purple florals, crushed ripe blackberry, blueberries, hints of tobacco and moist earth. On the palate, I found velvety textures, yet fresh, as the Santa Lucia Highlands Syrah coasted effortlessly across the senses with notes of ripe dark berries, sweet spice and tobacco, hints of game and crushed violet candies as a touch of residual tannin tugged at the senses. The finish was long and fresh, as a mix of black fruits, purple florals, hints of citrus and spice slowly faded.

May 12, 2019 - Opened for 1-2 hours, tight on opening smoothed out quickly.A much more fruit forward Syrah versus the iron back mouth of others. A good hint of Zin spice . Excellent paired w ith baby back ribs

November 1, 2016 - No formal notes. Night 1 at restaurant pop and pour was totally shut down and dominated by grapefruit finish. Corked it and ordered something else BTG.
Night 2, it opened up, blueberry pie, plush. Not sure what happened night 1.1 person found this helpful Comment
