  January 28, 2024 - Quality made, but for the pedigree of the vineyard, not really distinctive compared to other Bien Nacido Syrahs I have enjoyed.

  September 21, 2023 - Mid weight crisp and fresh. Dense core of savory meat and pepper spice notes. Gets a little thin and narrow on the mid palate into the finish but might broaden with time. A ringer for N Rhone.

  August 18, 2023 - Savory nose with raw meat, garrigue, white pepper, and red plum. Dry textured black plum, sandy soils, dried bay leaf, and loads of white peppercorn. Crisp finish brings some acidity, with broad-shouldered but medium-weight tannins, dry plum, wet clay, and lingering white oak. Interesting wine that's lighter on its feet than typical California Syrah with the 12.5% alcohol.

  June 3, 2023 - It’s a good wine, just lacking some of those great characteristics I love about syrah. Nose: blackberry, menthol, cedar spices, some alcohol, and forest floor. Palate: blackberries, iron, herbal - which dominates- , some cured meat, well balanced and very easy to drink. Medium acidity and medium tannins. Medium to full body.
