  3 hour decant. Still tannic but not overbearing. Velvety, purple fruited, good tapenade type flavors, but still with the fruit pushing a brightness I get from all of Cody’s wines. Really nice, but will wait on the next few bottles.

  Peppery, savory and bright, with a hint of dark fruit, leather and even some espresso. Paired with a chicken thigh TikTok dish with cream and sun dried tomatoes. Heaven!

  First the warning - hold! Do not open this right now.
  
  I checked it for you, and it’s in no mood to be disturbed. It’s got plenty of material, and a deep savory note, but right now it’s a bank vault at night - dark and closed.

  Actually 92++. Pop and pour. Everything you want from a cool climate Syrah, great balance, nice savory elements. Highly recommended.
