  This wine is deep purple in the glass with crimson-to-orange edges. The nose shows medium dark stewed blueberry, charcuterie, and basement.
  
  On the palate the wine is deep and brooding. There's dark blueberry, bing cherry, pepper, and oak. Soft tannins, low acidity, and medium finish.

  Beautiful bouquet with red berries and herbs and spices. On the palate the same beautiful and ripe fruits, minerals. chocolate, juicy and medium+ acidity, slightly sticky tannin. Overall a lush and ripe wine in its young maturity stage. 93 - 94

  Gorgeous, lush, perfumed Syrah, drinking beautifully right now. Notes of blackberry, cassis, smoked meats, tar, pepper and loads of violets and spring flowers. The tannins are sweet and soft and the texture is oh-so-smooth. Luxurious, velvety and compelling. A delicious, heady Syrah that has really come into its own. It may get marginally better, but its drinking beautifully right now. Pop the cork and enjoy it!

  tasted stewed, concerned for light damage from inadvertent exposure of my K Vintners portion of my cellar. Huge bummer…

  A bit closed still after a 1 hour decant. Still not showing very much on day 2. Big fruit and quality wine is clearly there but likely needs another 5 years minimum to hit its stride
