May 18, 2018 - Really restrained heat behind the smokey/tobacco nose then it bursts open with silky fruit and a perfect balance between the soft tannins and acidity...wonderful

October 5, 2016 - Very dark and dense. Fresh cut wood - oak or perhaps cedar. Cassis, blackberry, figs. Some tannic sharpness and still a bit of alcohol on the nose, along with some subtle salty black olive.
On the palate, very full, spicy mouthfeel, good acidity, medium-short finish. Blackberries and black cherries. Very little tannin at this point. -

July 17, 2016 - Silky, intense ruby color with surprisingly youthful aromas of pie cherries and violets. Not bombastic, the palate is confident without being muscular with an ephemeral, almost feminine presentation. Cherry, forest floor, leather, all dark and luscious flavors are deep and playing well together. The wine has lovely balance, with many micro-expressions through a long finish. Elegant, yet it still tastes so young! We'll hold onto our last bottle for a few more years as I suspect this will continue to improve.

April 27, 2014 - Absolutely delicious. Gave it a quick decant and rest. No significant solids in this bottle which we purchased at the winery. Very pure and elemental syrah with emerging complexity as the evening went on. The wine was so nice and we were so thirsty that it disappeared very quickly. Nice deep color. Appealing sweet nose. Wonderful red and black fruits with only minor spiciness.
