  P&P; lots of black fruit, fig, cigar tobacco, espresso and dark chocolate. Has a touch of funk on the finish I rather like. Tasted too oxidized after leaving a 1/4 vacu-sealed in the bottle overnight and I had to pour it out, but I'm not counting that against the score. Drink now - 2029.

  Bright and somewhat atypical profile for a Syrah, still outstanding, root beer, cherry cola - I am a big fan of this one. Good QPR for a unique profile.

  What’s a wonderful treat. Opened a cab to drink with filets, but was disappointed, so tried this. Wow, PNP, smooth, wonderful fruit, great mouth feel, great wine

  Powerful root beer and menthol nose, dark cherry, palate is smooth and refined with good body, medium finish, dark cherry cola, syrupy, really extracted, really delicious - I like this wine for being a nontraditional syrah - minimal meat here!
