My first of 2 bottles. 100% Syrah aged in chestnut and oak barrels. Not decanted. Garnet color with a little bricking on the edges. Moderate to heavy sediment which my Nephew partially drank since he decided to pour the bottom of the bottle into his glass when I wasn't around. Notes of licorice, dark berries and some bacon fat. The finish was a bit spicy. 91 points.

Deep purple hue that opens with green peppercorn and lavender aromas. Full-bodied density that carries savory notes of plum, dried cranberry and black olive. Excellent acidity/fruit balance with a lingering finish of allspice and leather.

Day 1 - awful. Several hour decant...smelling a little better but not there. Day 2 (after sitting in decanter for entire time) it is singing well. Blackfruits, some under ripe blackberries, forest floor and pepper zing. Some bay leaf too. Medium finish with pepper and acid. Really nice but ~$24 from Costco this is not your average Pnp Friday night wine.

Red color with purple rim. Fruit short stay on the palate, over taken by acid and tannin
