  Excellent Syrah. Drinking extremely well right now. Dark fruits, integrated tannins. Not need to wait if you have a bottle. Wish we did.

  Pleasant bottle. Not overly complex. Fruit forward. Opened 1:00. Drink next 12-18 months.

  Rich and dark fruit forward. First impression significant oak which seemed to integrate through the bottle. Typical well made Paso wine; fruit oriented; meant to enjoy, not contemplate. Fine tannin present but balanced by acid leaving mouth salivating. Alcohol well in check, several more years of life if one were inclined.
