February 13, 2021 - Retail $50. Big Ass Bottle. As I was perusing my cellar this particularly chilly February evening, I noticed this Pasterick Syrah and its rather striking "drink by" status here on Cellar Tracker (2019, for those following along at home). Upon opening, however, I knew I was in for a treat. Dark and brooding in the glass with sexy and spicy dark berry fruit (blackberry, cassis, black cherry), oodles of spice (clove, cardamom, black pepper), and a touch of anise, this is straight up gangbusters. The palate is more of the same, only ratcheted up to eleven: fruit, spice, layers of depth, weight, Yowza and Whoa. I would like to characterize Gerry Pasterick as a friend but tasting this wine? I am fairly certain that I am not worthy.

November 8, 2019 - Wonderful aromatics with lavender and blackberry. In the mouth it's black currant, mulberry, brown sugar, sage. Fine tannins, well-balanced acidity. A truly lovely wine.

September 20, 2019 - I wanted to enjoy this but gave me rather little pleasure. Neither big and full, nor with finesse. Lots of extraction though, with 15.5% alc. Maybe good fun while younger but now not so much (for my palate). +1 for effort though, which is evident.
