Such a different tasting experience than in November of 2019! Tonight this wine was beautifully focused - it was doing one thing (tasting fabulous) and doing it very well. It was everything many reviews have suggested. It was powerful, rich, dark, concentrated, and bursting with flavor. It was definitely our WOTN!
I would suspect that it still has at least two more years - likely more - before it starts down the other side of its peak.
Fabulous!!

Excellent syrah, deep blue/red fruits, some very nice sense of the earthiness. Having said that, I think I am going to forego further releases of "Noir" in favor of the Tensley Colson Canyon syrahs.

This is a big wine, thick blue fruit forward for sure. But the fruit is somehow still complex and interesting, the acid is just enough to support, and the wine resists the descent into syrupy banality.
This is not a wine that I would choose with most food, but I still find it to be delicious and very compelling.

Nice wine. Balanced pairing great w/cheese and crackers. Maybe entering peak drinking window?
