A delicious zin with lots of dark fruit depth and plenty of tannin. You could easily drink now or give it a few more years.

Definitely a food wine. Loads of tannin still - needs more time. The fruit in there. Patience!

Drinking very well - lovely structure and balance - still amble tannin, but has softened - drink now or can age longer.

Delicious, but much more tannic than I remember. Recommend decanting for at least 2 hours, or better yet, leave it in the cellar for a couple more years.

One of the best cabs I've had. Drinking well now, but will be great for many years to come.

Not even close to the high rating advertised. Virtually no nose. Disappointingly thin. A hint of strong raspberry with no real depth or nuance which disappears quickly into a tannic finish. I'm going to let this sit for a few years and see if it improves.

Playful and popular with a broad group. Slightly sweet. Not boring and thin. Served well with spicy Mexican.

Thought it might be thin, but it still had a lot of structure. Not as interesting and complex as I had hoped though.

Very fruit-forward for a syrah - accessible for a broad audience, but wouldn't be a wine-lovers choice.
