100% cold-climate Syrah where the grapes have been fermented on their stems. The result is a bold and delicious wine with violets, mint, and blackcurrants in a delightful harmony with smoky charcuterie, Christmassy clove, and freshly ground pink pepper. Full-bodied, smooth-textured, and well-balanced with fine-grained, velvety tannins. This is incredibly good, and it is evident that this wine has benefited from aging in the cellar.

Wife a huge fan of of big syrahs and really liked this wine. I enjoy both old and new world wines, but this was a bit over the top for me. Big bold rich thick (not syrupy sweet) that seemed to be way over the top. Long finish.

Really lovely, still fruit centric and nicely balanced. A great sipper but not as much strength and acid to really stand up to full flavored or fatty foods

Still a bit tight but what a beautiful wine. The nose is fantastic full of berries, spices and floral notes. Deep purple colored with a fantastic finish. Long life ahead of it, it seems. 2023 update: wow, this wine has evolved SO beautifully! If you have some bottles, crack ‘em open!

Drinking well. Not for the bashful. 15.5% alcohol. Big rich complex fruit. Does blow off with some time. Very long finish.
