Nose of dried tea and raspberry. Lots of red fruit up front, charcoal. Huge mouthfeel, lots of tannin. Big finish. Really nice wine that should keep improving for a while. Would come back in 5 years.

This was drinking well but still a bit early. Initial notes of dark fruits, earth, and olive on the stunted nose. In the mouth it's big, rich, and tannic, though a little monolithic at first. We then decanted as it went into a shell for a couple hours before re-emerging to reveal more nuanced notes of herbs (i.e., rosemarry), graphite, damp earth, cured meat, and a mix of plum, blackberry, blueberry. With more time spice and tobacco came to the fore, followed by an increasingly long and expressive finish of the same flavors. I think there's more substance and complexity here that'll come out with a few more years of bottle age, but it's really good now with at least 2-3 hours in the decanter. 94+

(Sheridan Vineyard Singularity Syrah) Hello friends. We’re trying to thread the Sheridan Vineyard needle with today’s offer timing-wise. This one was originally scheduled for after Labor Day, but one of the wines on offer is depleting so rapidly in the market-at-large that it will be sold out by then (a 94pt Advocate review for a wine in the $20s will do that). The original reason for waiting until September was that we wanted to offer two of Sheridan’s crown jewels, and the release date for both is not until Sept 1. The way we decided to get around that issue is that we’re essentially offering those two (Singularity and Block 1) as a pre-sale: order today, and then the wine will be delivered in early September. Four wines total on offer today, really representing the breadth of Scott Greer’s vigneron excellence with Sheridan. From prices in the twenties to north of a hundy, these wines always represent fine value for the tag. Let’s dive in:See key for # of bottles currently available.

Primarily blackberry on nose with a hint of smoke. Fruit forward; sweet blackberry fruit continues followed by high acidity. Decent depth.
