Fantastic Syrah! We took this magnum to Christmas Eve family dinner at Flemmings. The entire bottle was decanted, however only a couple of us were drinking it. We ended up decanting it back to the bottle and taking it home. On Christmas Day dinner it was delicious and showing quite a bit more. Not just fruit, but some rustic notes too. Solid acidity, great with food. I would probably hold this one and not open for several more years if I had another. Darn good central coast Syrah!

Excellent offering from Joey Tensley. This is a well made wine. Shared with friends and was a big hit. Smelled terrific, tasted great and went well with dinner.

Took out of the cellar and hour before opening. Was tight and tasted like the barrel had been heavily charred - an overpowering taste of toasted barrel, not much fruit. Left some in the glass for two hours. A bit better but still not my favorite. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle.

Definitely smoothing out. Could go longer. Tannins are almost totally incorporated
