Did not enjoy this as much as their other offerings, very oaky and did not remain true to the varietal. Still, it's not terrible but prefer other producers for my Merlot.

I've had a bottle properly cellared since 2009. A good bottle with elements of spice including mild cinniman. There is moderate fruit still remaining with blackberry being the obvious. I don't necessarily agree with the cellar tracker estimate on the drinking window. The tannic ANC acid structure could allow for at least two more years if properly cellared. The QPR is just ok.

I was hoping for more, had a pretty nose and some nice spice notes on the finish but not much of a mid-palate and more of a mid weight syrah rather than a big mouth filling glass of syrah

nice; threw off some sediment; one hour decant & this opened up to a smooth easy drinking mellow syrah; not too fruity; but not much depth to it;
