Community Tasting Note

Montesquieu Likes this wine:

Friday, January 13, 2023 - Final bottle of one badass case enjoyed over the years. Have I experienced a better American red for $30 in the last decade? Perhaps nope. And it's certainly at a peak now. Enjoyable straight from the decanter without time. Huge complexity: violets, garrigue, smoke, moist forest floor, blackberry with its bit of tart. No off notes. Hedonistic but not overdone. Despite my personal preferences veering toward elegance, this bold American Syrah gets everything right at its price point. Everything. I'd buy four more cases right now if I could. Top 0.1% of American reds for $30, IMO. Had I paid $100, I would have considered this better than many at that price.
