Popped an poured. Perhaps a bit hot right out of the gate (as Eschuldt noted), but this resolved itself within 30 minutes. This is drinking pretty good right now IMO.

Popped & poured, drank over 2 nights. Nice nose, dark fruit + pepper + vanilla. The same on the palate. Finishes a bit tart and hot, which is my only complaint with the bottle.

Nice, concentrated, fairly typical California Syrah. Dominated by savory flavors and pepper, rather than fruit. Has good acidity and a bit of tartness in the middle, giving it a little bit of a cool climate Syrah character.

smooth ultra fine tannins, smoke and some anise. quite nice, though maybe a touch on the thin side. it's held up perfectly well.

A bit hot for the first 30 min. Once it calmed it tasted a bit thin, not really my style.
