Big, bold funk bomb, an amazing example of what terroir can do to a wine. Ultra sour all the way through, even on the second night. Raspberries picked fresh from the side of the road, pickled strawberry, Japanese plum. I wish I had more!

Pretty funky when first opened, but blew off within half an hour. A really beautiful wine, nice expression of grenache. I do personally prefer the syrahs from Cayuse, and this seemed to me slightly less interesting than Cayuse syrah. Still a wonderful bottle that I enjoyed with a friend. On the nose, nice complexity of forest floor, dark fruit, and damp earth. On the palate, it was brighter, with red berries, pomegranate, and cranberry.

Delicious. PnP. Very good from nose to finish. Good balance and fruit Probably be good more several years if stored right.

Fabulous effort. It was amazing with a mushroom risotto.
