Really just an outstanding bottle that for us, was in a wonderful drinking window. Immediately dark fruit with depth on the mid and a nice finish. Must be a throw-back bottle - sitting in the prime. An earthy quality. PnP -

An all-around excellent bottle, if perhaps lacking any distinction or unique personality to push it a couple points higher. Very clean, sweet and fruity on the nose. Silky medium to full body. Charged with ample, bright dark fruit while also bringing classic smoky Central Coast Rhone character. A zing of acidity on the tongue and very smooth tannins. Nicely built. Long finish of dark cherry a hint of raspberry.

I loved this Syrah, but the primary aroma was apple, very surprisingly...I don't think I've ever had that on a Syrah. It showed excellent structure with layers throughout the pallet that were all enjoyable and balanced perfectly.

This one might be getting toward the end of it's window. Juicy with dark berry fruit. Still a good wine but wasn't as good as I remember.
