The fruit seemed to be gone compared to what I remember from this vintage. The oak was still there, and there was some serious spice going on. Nonetheless, I think it peaked a while back. If you're holding on to it, don't.

Awesome syrah. Smooth and fruity, but definitely not a fruit bomb. Cherries, cinnamon, and vanilla. A little steep for me ($36), but I love Goosecross, and this is a lovely drink.

For me this Syrah can be summed up as "Good not great" I guess that's because nothing about it really stood out enough for me to jot it down in my notes. It just had a decent nose, decent mouthfeel, a tasty finish, but nothing distinguishing about it. I don't want to sound like I'm giving it a bad rap because it wasn't bad. Just nothing jumping out at me about it.

Well made wine still holding up. Most of the fruit has faded but very balanced....enjoy! Still has a few years left.
