Past it’s prime? Bad cork? Storage (no as it’s been in the wine fridge). Alcoholic and flabby. The previous 3 bottles were outstanding so I will leave this as a flaw.

Took a few minutes to open up but wonderful body with food. This is in a good place now, with round fruits, and the full mouth feel of a yummy Syrah. Enjoy this with food, for sure.

Even though I usually enjoy my CA Syrahs with 6 years minimum aging, I did enjoy this younger as the blueberry pie has evolved into a more complex blue/black mushroom/earthy/coffee Syrah. Still great, which is why I kept the same rating, but the blueberry pie was fascinating as desert. Who needs port?

Delicious syrah. Clear deep purple color. Nose of cherry, plums and blackberries which carried on to taste. Rich, well balanced with hints of smoke, ripe olives . Not at peak yet, 2-3 years.

Beautiful Syrah. Blueberry pie. Good acidity; no tannins noticeable. First bottle and plenty of age ability. Nice oily texture. Mid palate dominant.
