Ziereisen continues to live up to reputation here. Clean, linear representation of Syrah. Mineral verve. Fruit is intense, but lifted. Really punches through. Nicely balanced. Touch of sage and only a hint of that Syrah meaty character. Formidably structured. I'd expect this to age well.

Removed from professional storage. Drinking well, certainly in a good spot now. Crowd favorite at thanksgiving. Fairly youthful and should easily hold well for another 5++ years if cellared properly.

Drinking extremely well. Reflects the ripe vintage, but still very balanced. No sign of decline, could sit for a few more years.
