A really lovely wine that is a terrific example that you can make a fine Syrah in the Willamette valley. This vintage, from a warm year, has aged beautifully. It was co-fermented with viognier. Dark fruits on the nose with balanced acidity and tannins in the mouth with black pepper, dark chocolate and fruits in the mouth. Opened up further over an hour. Glad I still have some more bottles

Nothing has changed my mind about this. With age it's softened but dark fruits and earthiness remain. Delicate/elegant in style. Sorry to say it's my last bottle. I think brooding is still a good descriptor.

Consistent notes. Although seems to have gotten more intense and brooding.
