Bought as a library release, and it’s vibrant and stunning. Got plenty of acidity, nice varietal pepper and spice, and in full form. Delightful. Really lovely American syrah.

Tasted as part of 05, 06, 07 vertical. Unsurprisingly the hottest of the three and ever so slightly out of balance relative to the other two. Still, an excellent effort

A cellar release from AR. I have lots of AR Syrah in the cellar (Clary and Que) so it was nice to drink an older Syrah as mine are just too young and seem to be in suspended animation right now. This was very good, ready to drink. Dark berry, iron, earth and menthol. Still has many years ahead but great now.

Very balanced and elegant. Great fruit, but has cool climate acidity.

Dark purple color. Nose has dark fruits, blackberry, plum, smoke, bacon. Nice depth, really delicious. Great balance. Medium-full bodied.
