June 22, 2020 - This just screamed Sleight of Hand syrah right from the start. Loads of olives, hints of game meats, tobacco, dark fruits, with well incorporated rounded tannins and mellow oak. This was really great.

December 25, 2019 - Dk cherry and blackberry with menthol, rare beef, black olives, herbs de provence, smoke, and leather. There also a hint of something floral. Elegant, dark, and complex. Very nice wine.

August 10, 2017 - PNP. I'm told this was from the winery owner's private cellar. The name of the wine has changed now due to a legal challenge (the bottle is almost a collector's item). Deep, dark, inky color. Jerky, cola, blackberry, pepper and beets on the nose. Rich, smooth, dry palate (nice middle of the tongue acidity) with an herbaceous (think fresh cut grass) quality. Long, mouth filling finish with firm, rounded tannins. Absolutely unique, wonderful Syrah.

April 9, 2017 - P&P. Big red and black fruit, tobacco, bacon fat and that amazing Rocks funk! Drinking well, probably at peak. Drink now - 2020.
