September 18, 2022 - Full bodied and mature, yet easily approachable with no decanting. Engaging nose of black and blue fruits with earthiness and black pepper mid palate. Firm tannins with a medium length finish.

February 22, 2020 - Open and ready after a quick splash decant. It pours deep, dark purple, bricking at the edge. Smells of blueberries and blackberries, lilac, herbs and charcoal. Drinks great, adding notes of mocha and gravel.
It started to breakdown a bit at the last glass around four hours later. Drinking great but I would enjoy in the next year or so.
Our bottle had lots of sediment so I would encourage decanting. -

6/27/2012 (link) **** 1/2 points(Syncline Wine Cellars Syrah McKinley Springs Vineyard Horse Heaven Hills) Locked up tightly right now, this is a moderately aromatic wine with pure dark fruit, light floral notes, and a light peppery top note. The fruit flavors here are incredibly pure with tart, vibrant acidity. Among the more exciting wines I have had this year and a wine that will lay down beautifully in the cellar for years to come. 100% Syrah. Fermented in concrete (80%) and open top fermenters. Aged 16 months in neutral French oak. 500 cases produced.
