Community Tasting Note

• Ron Slye wrote: 96 points

  March 8, 2020 - Wow. This may be one of the best domestic syrahs, maybe any syrah, I have had. Still very inky black. Lots of roasted meat, ash, violets, and umami on the nose. This is the sort of wine that I could just sniff all night. Lovely tight taste in the mouth, with a sweet ashiness that segues into a nice long finish. This is a lovely wine at the moment. Note to self -- wait at least five years for the next one, and don't touch the 2012s at all!
