  Very mature nose of baked black cherries with rosemary and thyme as well as a distinct note of eucalyptus. Medium-full bodied, the tannins are completely resolved and this is on the downswing. Lots of baked/stewed red cherry fruit with high acidity keeping it together. This is an interesting and complete wine but definitely on the downswing. 90

  Beautiful, give it some air and you will have a pleasant evening. Pair with light food or drink late evening.

  Oh, the pleasure of expectations exceeded. I came across this in the cellar, and thought it needed to be drunk without delay. What I found was a classic Northern Rhone in its prime, displaying quality and longevity. Classy winemaking. A delicious Syrah with a sense of place. Vg+

  Unfortunately my last bottle of this. I would be a happy man if this came out of my faucet instead of water. Ready to go on the pop and pour, perfectly balanced. Great acidity, smooth tannins, medium bodied. A very enjoyable wine for a great price.

  Wow, this was awesome and my best bottle of this so far. PnP and drank over 2 hours. Silky smooth mouthfeel with balanced alcohol, good acidity and a medium finish. Just spectacular for $18 all-in. It's nice to have wine like this that doesn't require multiple hours of air time to be open for business. If this bottle is indicative, I would not give this any air time....just let it develop in the glass.
