Library Wine Tasting: 2007-2015 subduction Red. 2013 is drinking very well and one of the best of the flight. Nice fruit and balance with lingering finish of spice.

My last one, still drinking well but not as fresh and vibrant as immediately after release, drink up if you have them! I'd say they were a solid 92 on release!

Fruit forward and no complexity. Air helps. I don't share opinions of some others that this represents a great QPR. We'll see if remaining bottle stands out.

Very dark red color. Followed a glass over an hour. This just didn't work for me. The nose had chocolate, cherry, very herbal, spice. The palate seemed simple, thin, slightly candied raspberry fruit, slightly sweet, alcohol, pepper, and a mean green streak.

A small pour at a wine lunch. Despite the wineries insistence they are all natural in all ways, this tasted like a goopy extracted manipulated cheap wine fruit bomb. It's also rather alcoholic. This was served with a fatty beef short rib dish that was quite nice, but the 2 did not go well together - too fruity and sweet for the meat.

Syncline's flagship wine, with 2,500 of the winery's 6,000 cases set aside for this gateway bottling. A blend of Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan, Counoise, Grenache, and Cinsault. Opens with floral aromas alongside juicy, red fruits including cherry and watermelon. Medium body with mild tannins--a smooth drink. Enjoy young. Excellent.

Unscrew & pour. Violet core with a scarlet rim. Always a classic CDR style blend. The nose shows plummy fruit & cracked pepper out of the gate. Full bodied & intense. Punching way above the $20 price tag. Ripe black & red berries balanced acid & tannins. Easy to drink & diverse with a variety of dishes. One of my favorite Subductions in recent memory.

Balanced and utterly delicious. Possibly the best Subduction Red yet. I do not know how they are able to produce such high quality for such a rediculously low price. Almost too good to be true.

Rhone style blend with notes of pepper, herbs, cherry, raspberry. Decent value wine under $20

Focused blackberries, rose petals, and tea on the nose. Light texture with a enveloping and lingering presence. Most likely not one to hold onto.
