After Christmas Gathering; 12/26/2022-12/27/2022 (Our House): Decanted for 2 hours. Wonderful nose - slightly earthy, darker fruits, very inviting. Delightful on the palate, easy yet intriguing. The same essence of dark fruits and earth. Compared to the 2107 Denner "Dirt Worshipper" - which was also open - the Alta Colina was more subdued, the Denner was more present, more "in your face" in a good way.

Pretty good, fairly priced. Deep dark ruby color, aromas take an hour or more to develop into blackberries and oak, a little tart in the mouth. Flavors similar to the aromas, berries oak and some interesting mint/menthol notes. Long finish.

Very nice Syrah, dark fruits, blackberries, blueberry, very little pepper or bacon fat, well integrated tannins, long finish, still very young

Really singing after being open for about an hour.
