Two earlier bottles of this wine were so-so.....not bad, but a little below what I would expect. This one was very good. It is a very good drink window. Unfortunately, it is my last bottle.

Purple color with a bouquet and flavor of plums, chocolate, and black pepper. Very typical for a California Syrah. Good balance despite the alcohol with a moderate finish. With a bit more nuance and a bit less alcohol, this could have been a wow.

I like Martinelli Syrahs, and this one was up to the standard. Might be better than a 92. Was popular at a restaurant, even to those who do not usually drink red wine. I also sense this one may improve some over time.

Similar to a tasting last year. A solid Syrah that is drinking well right now.

Very nice. Terrific, balanced body. Such a consistent execution by this winery. Smokey, moderate tannins. A bit of heat. Loved it. Great Syrah.
