  Simply unreal....
  
  Smoky, meaty, black fruit, DEEP blackberry, olive, tannins are still assertive, wonderful acidity. The alcohol is a surprising 14.8%, but this drinks cool and assertive with menthol and lifted acidity.
  
  Wonderful showing!

  Amazing value on this wine. Holding up so well. Love the cooler climate notes just oozing: wild berries, slate, forest floor, violets. A beautiful wine from an underrated producer and region. With ample tannins and no signs of fading this wine should age effortlessly for another decade.

  Nov 21st 2015 "Getting the Band back Together" Tasting at Adam's (Phredd's Casa): 3rd wine courtesy of JohnR. A very funky Rhone blend- earth, barnyard, and pure campfire smoke that fades into smoked, cured meats like ham and bacon. I never got much fruit out of this throughout the night, oak and tannins are dominant on the nose and palate. Dense and full bodied, 14.8% abv. Overall Evaluation: B-.

  This was the last bottle and we took it camping, seems like the perfect wine for food cooked on the open campfire. Dark rich fruit but it seems the mineral aspect was significantly more forward which is really nice. Wonder if it's an age thing? Wish I had a case hiding in the cellar where I could drink one a year for the next decade. No question this will hold up. Great wine.

  Dark, musky, almost forboding savory flavor profile. Not vibrant. I found this delicious, complex, and thought provoking. Ridiculous value. I love this cool climate aged syrah stuff....
