  September 1, 2014 - Plenty of blueberry, a touch tart. A Cali-Aussie (McClaren Vale) hybrid. Some menthol / eucalyptus, more noticeable on days 2-4. Held up well. Not overly complex, but far from unidimensional. A touch thin mouthfeel. Medium plus finish. Day 1 87, by days 3-4 89-90. 88+ pts.

  March 27, 2012 - Decanted for about 80 minutes then drank with split pea soup with ham hocks and a frisée, spinach, pecorino and almond salad. Deep purple color, characteristic heavy Syrah nose. Big round dark fruit with spice and tons of oak, totally par for the course for Napa syrah. I don't remember what I paid but I would consider this a steal at $15, decent at $20.

  January 24, 2010 - Black currant and brioche nose with a bit of nutmeg. Spicy palate with high acid. Black cherries come out on the finish.
