Ash Hollow syrahs had a distinctive tapenade flavor that seemed unique to WW Valley syrahs. Now 16 years old, this carries less of that nuance but still has pleasant dark fruit pepper and petrol flavors.

Still drinking well. Nose has smoky overtones, color is stable and inky purple, dark fruits predominate the palate. Drank one of these rather quickly, and started a second. The second we didn't finish & held till the next day. By then it had lost some of it's scent & flavor. I recommend drinking within a few hours of opening.

A bit of a disappointment. Oak monster rearing its ugly head. A full throttle parkerized Syrah. Well made, but not my cup of tea.

Dark purple, outstanding nose and more subtle than a typical Syrah. Overall great wine and sorry this was my last bottle.

Excellent. Perfect pairing with filet. Dark fruit, a little less powerful than typical Syrah, but very pleasant.
