Another great bottle of Syrah from Delmas. Expressive on the nose and palate. It’s well balanced and really hard to set down
Several bottles tasted over the last 8 years from the 12’s-17’s. It never disappoints. A more elegant wine making expression of this AVA. If I could only cellar only one Rocks Syrah this would be the one. It opens up predictably with a couple hour decant being sufficient although you could get by with less. This has been my biggest disappointment with some of the other producers in this area. It’s hard to know how long to decant prior to a meal due to bottle variation within the same label and vintage.

Drinking well. Aromatically exspessive. Nice red fruit with plus acidity and modest tannins. Better than I expected based on prior notes.

Showing really well with plenty of life left. I wish this was my first bottle rather than my last. Still quite youthful.
