Very tight after opening. Really comes to life with some air. 85 points upon opening. After after an hour I give it 90. Some nice fruit here. Great fined grained tannins. Good balance between fruit and acid. Nice long finish.
Meh. Didn't show much during the first couple of hours. I vacuum corked it and waited three days, at which point it was bordering on being undrinkable.

I find this a great Syrah, especially given the price. I thought it was just as good, if not better than, when I had it in the Woodinville tasting room in March 2017. I stored it at ~50F for about a year before I opened it. The storage length wasn’t intentional, but it seems to have paid off. That’s just the way it goes sometimes!

Very tight upon opening. Did not vacuum cork it, and it was just ok 48 hours later. Still waiting for the approachability and tension exhibited when tasted at the winery... 14.4% ABV.
