Tuesday, April 6, 2021 - Dark ruby in color with a brick rim.
Beautiful nose of blueberries, blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, raisins, vanilla, cedar, licorice, metals, cloves, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, vinaigrette and pencil lead.
Full bodied, elegant and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with plums, cherries, blueberries, wood, cloves, vanilla, spices, espresso, dark chocolates, peppercorn, pencil lead and earth.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is wonderful Syrah from Napa Valley. Well balanced and enjoyable by itself or with food. Showing great complexity and mouthfeel.
This 20 year old needs 45 minutes to open up properly, and remove the barnyard smell.
I've had this vintage a few years ago, and this is my last bottle. I'm glad it was such an enjoyable wine.
This is gorgeous and delicious. Rich, yet subdued. Elegant and smooth.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a BBQ burger.
14.2% alcohol by volume.
95 points.
