I lied in my previous TN. I only held my other bottle until now. Similar notes. Glad to have gotten a "look what I found" deal on these two. Excellent stuff. It probably is time to drink any remaining, though, soon-ish if not soon.

Possibly the most NR or any California syrah I've had. Much better on day 2 and even then still not giving a lot on the nose, but the palate was a dead ringer for a good St. Joe with some age on it. Meaty, olives, just a touch of pepper. I will hold my other bottle for a few more years.

Very giving, blackberry and rosemary billow from the glass. Coarse, rocky structure remains wrapped around a core of very ripe shiraz-kind of fruit. Really interesting.

A good mix of warmth, richness, and savory cut. Mature and drinking well.
