Was nervous about how this would taste in 2016. Opened and was delighted. Rich with berries and fruit, smooth, a touch smokey and a touch spicy. Wonderful!

Blue and black fruit, asian spices on the nose; blue fruit, woody notes (sandal wood), tobacco on the palate. Black pepper on the finish.
Fantastic wine now and a more time. Drank 1/2 hour after opening in reidel syrah glasses.
Drinks extremely well. More like a rhone than California style syrah.. Should be rated higher and the wine crafter should get grat cuddos
Nose like a s'more. Vanilla ice cream marshmallow and vanilla palate with plums. Light and not aggressively peppery like many syrahs from this region.
Wine & Fire - Sta. Rita Hills Sat 8/17; 8/18/2013-8/23/2013: Aromas of herbal savory spice, with black fruit. Rich and savory style with ripe tannins and a persistent finish. Solid, straight-forward profile.
