Nose of black fruit and metallic ore with some oak and hints of coconut. Powerful tart and juicy black cherry and currant fruit barrels across the tongue as dry resinous herbs build into a crescendo behind. Firm tannins, raisiny fruit, unripe blackberry and charred oak on the finish. Could use more time to develop but it’s an interesting take on the grape now. (175 views)

Very nice
Too high-toned sweet on PnP for me, but with a decant this really shows nicely. Great wine with grilled sirloin cap and flank steak. Perfectly ripe Zin.

I've got another of these and want to lay it down, target ~2027

4th Saturday Brown Bagger (R&D's): Double blind. Deep youthful purplish red color. Vanilla, blue fruit, chocolate and black fruit notes. Has a touch of heat as well. Full-bodied. Flavors of black fruit, pepper and black raspberry. Balanced, with a lingering finish. A gorgeous syrah. 93-94 pts. (MM) (162 views)

This was excellent. About as tannic and youthful as I'd expect from a well made Syrah, especially from the mountain. STarted with purple and black fruits, evolved to have more meat and floral notes. Should have a long life ahead of it still. (155 views)

VA was way out front on this. I am chalking it off to a off bottle, I had some high hopes here. (131 views)

Grapey nose with lavender and notes of bazooka gum. Palate starts juicy with black cherry and cola, the rolls up into wide tannins, acidity, black fruits, black olive brine with dried herbs and nice citrus energy dancing on the tongue through the finish. Nice now, give the tannins a year or two to unfold. 92+ points. (71 views)

Bright red color, slightly translucent. Gorgeous, fragrant nose of cherries, raspberries and floral notes. Soft and lovely on the palate, raspberry, cherry, bright spice. Almost grenache-like. Bit of rich blackberry on the mid-palate. Precise, fine tannins, lovely acidity, beautiful balance. Finishes long and mellow with bramble fruits. Drink next 4 to 5 years. (235 views)

An inky not-quite-black pours into the glass. The rim is ox-blood red. The nose is luxurious with blackberry, plum, cassis, bacon fat, smoke, brined black olives, maybe a bit of lavender, and definite mineral. The velvety mouthfeel reflects a deft hand. The finish is long. If there is one thing about all of the L-M wines, it is structure, and this presents structure in spades. While a big, muscular wine, its balance of tannin, fruit and acid is nothing short of tremendous. New World Syrah, but with a nod to the Old. Double decanted with loads of sediment left in the bottle and almost as much left in the first decanter. 14.7% alc., but not a whiff of heat. With grilled, bacon-wrapped bison strip steak and porcini mushrooms. 04.06.24. Highly Recommended. (129 views)

A bit of trepidation opening the bottle. Pleasantly surprised. Drinking well. Fairly dark and opaque. But remains fairly fresh and integrated. (102 views)
