Wow, this one really lit us up... big and brawny but smooth as a baby's bottom. Huge Syrah flavors that reminded us of Grenache. Never tasted a Syrah this smooth and no bite at all. Bravo!

Selected for our New Year’s Eve wine from our cellar. Does more need to be said? Lush, rich, elegant and singing in six part harmony after just an hour in decanter. Alban produces some of the very best Rhône varietals in the US. Impeccable balance, perfect tannins and great finish. Just now into its drinking window, this should go for another 15 years.

Really better on second night. Maybe a 6 hour decant to start. Mid savory fruit body. Medium long finish

Nice full bodied syrah with good fruit and nice spice on the finish. Paired perfectly with a beef tenderloin (but really what wouldn't)
