  I think this is still a bit on the young side. Not too much longer, though. It was noticeably fruitier than the 2010 Gigondas thet preceded it.

  PNP. Smooth drifting to back. Red fruits and a little earthiness. Well integrated tannins carry softly through a medium finish. Very good, though not remarkable.

  Very nice. Stored in our cellar since purchased from the winery. Will drink well for several years to come, if properly stored.

  Superb bottle of an intricate Carneros Syrah...very mellow on entry, silky and supple, opening open on the back palate to an array of spice, white pepper...in its prime nie
