A little light for the pallate, normal for Sonoma, but not the bolder napa finish. Got more complex as it opened (about an hour) but not enough to bump it into memorable teritory.

Pop and pour. Fruit forward style of Syrah. Fragrant, red fruit with a whiff of barnyard funk. Taste is fruit first, medium tannins with elevated acidity. I was very pleased with the wine upon opening.

Popped and poured with Thai food. Nicely balanced with dark fruit, core minerals, cherry, and nuances of flower and spice. Nicely balanced with reasonable alcohol level. Not overwhelmingly complex, but easy to enjoy.

(Baker Lane Syrah Sonoma Coast Cuvée) Reduction and primary berry nose; ripe spicy plum, berry with a touch of pepper, but not as complex as the Estate; medium finish (15% Estate and 85% Ramondo Vyd)

A mouthful of dark, jammy fruit to start but not much of a finish. Smooth, good nose.

a blast of sulphur ruined the full score ... the taste is great, but the nose is sulphur
