So delicious. Soft, smooth, and still full of power. The fruit is clearly there but the smooth powerful body is the star of the show. Wish I had lots more of this.

Drinking really well right now, but still a young maverick that will only improve as it's tamed a bit in the bottle. Great juiciness and rich extraction. Pretty tight right out of the bottle, but this one exploded with aromas and flavors. Exceptional wine and one of my favorite California Syrahs.

Really, really solid. On the heels of my favorite US syrah of 2013, the 2006 Arkenstone, this Keplinger absolutely blossomed on day 2. I wasn't going to do a note, but what a powerhouse. Bravo Helen!

A very good Syrah that competes with the elite in California Syrah. It far surpassed my expectations and was better than my first bottle a few years ago. Sorry, no specific tasting notes taken last night. But, it was a big, intense, and focused Syrah - much in the vein of Saxum. Oak is pretty well integrated. I wish I had bought more!
