  Very dusty with white sediment right out of the bottle. An hour later and nose remains very dark and dense. This continues on the palate but the wine feels lighter to the taste than it appears. This is our last bottle of the 15 but there's still no rush at all.

  Poured into a decanter but immediately got into this; followed out of syrah stems. Early on in the drinking window and nose is dominated by crushed stone, leather, black pepper. Wine is dry on the approach but you get glimpses of the dark fruit behind the tannins.
  
  No rush on this; would like to see it it’s a great little bit more and retry another bottle and 21 or 22. As others note, Kelly’s consistently over delivers at this price point

  One hour decant. Opaque purple magenta color. Plum, prune, tobacco, graham cracker and subtle pine tree sap on the juicy nose. Brambly and super tongue drying palate. Firm, full tannins on the long finish.
  
  This is good, but quite rugged at the moment. It’s absolutely built for the long haul, which is a bit surprising for a Napa wine at this price point. My next bottle will likely be next year with a much longer decant.
