January 6, 2024 - Wine Bros: A Study of Syrah (Cowford Chophouse): I’ve always really loved the Colgin Syrahs and still think that we probably haven’t seen the best of them. Will be something even better when they get to more age. These are drinking nicely though. We had opened and decanted for sediment and done a quick run through the Lennar machine and I think all of that was necessary for this wine. As it was it opened quite a bit in the glass and I saved some for the very end. Dark berries and just a hit of the iron ore. Even better according to the folks who drank more after the dinner (so more like hour 6 or 7 after bottle originally opened).

January 20, 2019 - Pnp. Rich and alluring on the nose with sweet currant, vanilla, and oak. For a napa syrah, the palate was very balanced with no hint of being overwhelmed. Yes the wine was made in a modern and extracted style, but it was done properly in a good way. It hang well with the higher calibre penfolds grange, hill of grace and sine quan non tonight. 92+
