Sunday, June 11, 2017 - Opened the full series together with a group. Enjoyable experience to compare these side-by-side. My preference order was #1, #2 (close), then #3 (not close).
#3: interesting experience here. I found this wine to be a distant third in the series. the fruit is full and voluptuous, but there's not much backbone for me, and I found that the syrah fruit and viognier-driven nose were not playing on the same team, letting the alcohol show a bit. One of my table-mates with tremendous wine experience and whose palate I trust liked this the best and called it elegant, stating that it's easily the most open and drinkable of the three, and that he'd drink it with salmon. Parker liked it best too. I guess that's one of the things that makes this hobby so great - we all have our own (completely valid) experience.
Opening these together is a GREAT way to experience them, and highly recommended.

As I understand it, these were tiny-production to begin with, and they've lost some vines to disease, so it no longer makes sense to split the bottling three ways. There will still be a Weill Syrah- just not 3 different versions.
Fwiw, while these are wonderful wines, I like bedrock's griffin and hudson even better - so don't fret, plenty of great wine coming out!
