100% Syrah seeing 22 month in barrel. This is a very polished and elegant wine right now, albeit still very young. Black currant, creme de cassis, and blueberry fruit up front. Notes of black licorice, smoked meat, dried herbs, and cracked pepper. Chewy tannins, firm acidity, and wonderful long finish. Obviously very good but patience will be rewarded if you continue to let this one sleep for a bit in the cellar...no rush.

What a wonderful Syrah! 94-95 after a double decant and one hour, then just hung there at 95 for two hours until gone. Smooth and full flavored, a real pleasure for Syrah lovers. Side by side with Quilceda Creek Cab, a treat to compare two 95-pointers and talk about them.

Took some time to coax the fruit out this bottle. First 60 minutes was closed off, but at the 90 min mark it began to sing. Really good at 2hrs and awesome at 2 1/2 hrs. By then, the bottle was gone.

Dark fruit, low acidity, low tannins..... excellent and enjoyable. Needed a lot of time (~2hrs) on a flat bottom decanter for it to open up. Showed some heat on the throat indicating higher alcohol, but overall a lovely wine drinking well right now.....
