Wonderful bouquet of smoke. In the mouth is medium dry with notes of anise, blackberry and super soft tannins. Still has great structure and the balance is beautiful.

Popped and poured the first night. Good fruit, smooth, with just a hint of barnyard on the nose (the score is for that night). Second night the fruit had faded and the barnyard was more evident. Perhaps Brett?

Good fruit, though it seems to be fading with age (i.e., drink it soon!)

Great anise on the nose. Deep and rich aromas of dark fruit and eucalyptus. Rich syrah from one of my favorites in the Santa Ynez area.

really good. blew away the cabs (aprox $30 and one $90) that we were tasting. I guess we just really like a good hearty syrah!!!
