Best showing yet, dark fruited with wonderful balance between tannin and fruit. I think this is in the early drinking window now.

The oak influence is becoming a bit more prominent, I preferred these when younger.

I wish this wine was still available for purchase, in any vintage. It always sells out immediately.

Mature and leaking a little bit but sound and drank very well. I would not hold these any longer.

I wish I could still buy this wine, but every vintage since '18 has been unavailable to me.

Restrained version of the typical RM SC Pinot, I will wait a year before opening another.

A bit tired, these bottles have shown some variability even though stored identically and purchased from the same source. Hoping for the best with the 2 remaining.

For me the oak overshadows the fruit at this stage. Last bottle so won’t ever learn if the oak will integrate.

A bit of heat, strong fruit flavors still, otherwise very sound for this 15 year old Syrah.

This bottle was far better than the previous, mostly resolved with dark fruits and plum on display. Took a few minutes to settle down after opening but I am happy to have 3 more and a mag for the future.

First time with this vineyard and was very impressed. Very elegant for a 2015 and definitely entering it's early drinking window. Dark cherry and plum with persistence.

Showing very well already, still has some tannin to shed and not as profound as the single vineyard wines but very good.

There is still a vanilla oak character that I am not in love with. Seems like others think this is in prime time right now, but for me a bit more rest is in order.

Started off a bit subdued but really grew into a nice cherry, earthy iron flavor and nice persistence. Probably not getting any better at this point, but drinking very well.

Slightly mahogany toned red. Tons of leather on the palate and nose and very acidic for me, to the point of being too much and lean. Not sure where this is headed. May be an off bottle.

From Magnum. Celebrating having the family together for Thanksgiving, this was a pop and pour and enjoyed greatly by all during the preparation of Thanksgiving diner. Cocoa and cherry flavour profile, mild tannin but not completely resolved, likely due to format. Many have said drink up on this bottle and with 750's that may be wise, but mag's of the 07 are doing well and I think have a few years to go before this goes beyond my preference into declining maturity.

Overshadowed by a really good Shafer HSS '01, needs more bottle time to come together but the component parts are there.
