May 23, 2024 - Drank over a few nights - up front pretty strong nose. Some nice meaty Syrah notes overlying cherry, granite and vanilla. As others note a bit lacking on the palate, mostly red fruit and a bit of iron. Not much finish that I appreciated but approachable tannins. Better night 2 but not dramatically so
Delicious, though lacking concentration -

May 12, 2024 - Bold, not a lot of acid, fruit well balanced, notes of leather, incredibly smooth. This is one of our favorite wines we’ve discovered so far.

October 11, 2023 - Medium purple
Aromatics medium +. Black cherry, smoke and dark olives
Palate has a medium body. Acid medium +.Tannins medium +, medium grained on the tongue. Alcohol medium. Cherries and chalk
Finish has a medium length. Balance towards the tannins
Tasting in prep for a wine club tasting on Syrah. Still needs more time in the bottle to mature, but seems like a straight forward Crozes.
