  All of the pieces are here in this bottle. Still maybe a bit young.

  Fabulous! Perfect and ready to drink. Chocolate up front and lots of dark, rich fruit on the finish.

  Lighter bodied but not delicate is the balance this wine brings. Some Central Coast syrahs can have the viscosity of motor oil, but this wine is not that. Beautiful dark maroon in the glass with some earthiness and black fruit on the nose. There is an initial hit of black cherry, dark fruit and a mid-palate of sweet cassise all with silky smooth tannins. Time has been wonderful to this bottle and it is just now showing its full potential.

  A lovely and absolutely adorable wine with brilliant balance, integration and overall proportions. This wine is drinking superbly right now but will most likely continue to evolve for another decade or more. The 2012 White Hawk exhibits an elegant combination of power, elegance and fruit. The fruit is totally on par with all the other components, yet it speaks up a bit more loudly thanks to the youthfullness of this effort. Power is expressed by a marvelous 50+ second length on the finish! Despite almost ten years rest there is plenty of both texture and a stunning structure. A lovely wine!

  Very nice wine. Tart cherry introduction. Quite lean, Not particularly full-bodied. Some stoniness. Easy to enjoy.
