Friday, June 26, 2015 - Wanted something special for my last Friday as a "company" man as I am retiring on Tue 6/30/15 so everyday after that will feel like Friday! A wonderful expression of Syrah with a rich, deep bouquet and a lush long finish bursting with ripe fruit. I usually am averse to too much oak but the fruit in this wine held up to the oak vanilla influences to create a nice balance. Will hold my last bottle (if I can keep my hands off it) for a few years to see how the wood and fruit integrate.
Ha, wish I bought more while I was drawing a salary but the tariff to get it shipped to Connecticut thru a 3rd party company felt too steep. Oh well enjoy them if you have 'em.
