  Really in a nice spot. White pepper shines on the nose. Dark berry, pepper and balsamic on the palate.

  Hands down, one of our favorite CA Syrah producers. Pepper, balsamic, blackberry, iodine, dried herbs, cured meats -- it's just so savory. Really nice place at this time when served at optimal temps in the low 60s where the balance shines. One more to go and while I feel this has 4 or 5 more years to enjoy I doubt I'll be able to keep my hands off it.

  Similar experience, although Brett on this wine that was polarizing.

  Opened this tonight, thanks to the cool spring evening. Sat on the porch and sipped two glasses.
  
  Similar to my note in February: Very savory on the palate. Everything is seamless, moving from front to middle to back end. Shows best around 62-64 degrees. Drank in a Grassl 1855 stem.
  
  Drink over the next 12 months, maybe a hair longer.
  
  Yay for aged Syrah!

  Okay, this is more like it. Balanced, borderline austere, pure, and simply enjoyable. I believe this wine is at or near its peak. Would definitely buy (and drink) more.
