September 23, 2023 - Still a lot in the tank enjoyable big Syrah tanins pronounced but integrated into the dark fruit.

January 1, 2022 - Drinking perfectly. Delectable complement to our leg of lamb NYE dinner. Dark fruit, well-integrated tannins, nice structure, minimal sanguine/meaty notes but that’s how I like my Syrah (sorry—no Reynnvan for me), enticing nose true to the taste. Velvety mouthfeel. Sad this was my last bottle!

November 26, 2020 - I’ve had this in the cellar a d pulled out as part of our Thanksgiving wine options. The surprise wine of the day/evening. Still shows it’s power with dark fruit but tannins very smooth and simply delightful.
I can’t imagine it can drink any better and looking forward to my remaining bottles. -

November 12, 2016 - Decanted for 2 hours. Just too much edgy acidity (tartness) for my palate. Food wine.

11/17/2011 (link) ***** points(EFESTE Jolie Bouche Syrah Boushey Vineyard Yakima Valley) A crazily aromatic wine with abundant mineral notes, red fruit, meat, savory notes, iron, and floral notes. The palate is big and brawny while also bringing tremendous refinement. Silky tannins carry this wine off into the distance.
