    July 23, 2015 - Good, and drinking pretty nicely. It's not your average Syrah, the brown sugar flavor and hint of sweetness that typifies this varietal. Medium acidity, tannins have mostly subsided.

    January 21, 2015 - I think I know where this is trying to go, it has some Northern Rhone -style to it with a very appealing bacon fat finish. But it comes across a little clumsy, and if it isn't one-dimensional (and it isn't), I'd say two-dimensional is as far as it gets. Could use a bit more cut, more earth, more finesse, more something to make it more memorable. Still, by the glass, at a bar, with a hamburger, you'd be pretty happy.

    December 27, 2014 - not very good. average at best. My wife, who loves Zin, pronounced it "too fruity."

    December 8, 2012 - First night seemed very restrained. Blackberry, some blueberry with good acidity and fine tannins. On the second night it had opened up considerably, pleasingly filling out what had been a slightly hollow mid-palate. Definitely needs more cellar time IMO.
