  A great bottle but I somewhat preferred it when it had more structure and multifaceted complexity. Well integrated and balanced cool climate Syrah.

  this bottle was great - had that Pinot-esque quality great coastal Cali Syrahs can have. Wish I had more.

  Not as old world I would have thought it would be form other people TN's. Quite forward but not over the top. Rich and flavored with typical CA syrah notes but with a little extra kick of smokiness and earth, but not a Northern Rhone for sure.

  It has been 30 months since I last sampled this wine, and the evolution is fascinating. The power nose combines cherry-fruited Pinot musk, smoke, and cocoa. The palate combines savory green peppercorn and pickled meat with sweet black cherry and smokey pomegranate. This bottle bought from the secondary market, but the progression makes sense. The finish is surprisingly sweet and simpler but rather long in the end. I'm not sure this will improve, as it has integrated considerably since my 07-10 notes and might have had my personal ideal mix of multifaceted youthful complexity and secondary character in 2012. 93-94, still an incredible wine, but I'm not sure whether it will turn to candy or a Northern Rhone ringer. Day 2: sweeter, not as special, but still carrying a unique flavor register.

  well everyone loved this, and darned good wine. I might accuse it of being a just a hair flabby, others would call it rich, round and supple. Fine and impressive cocktail wine and still light enough on its feet to drink well with food.
