  April 1, 2016 - My last bottle and I'll be damned this is the best one. Drinking extremely well now with the syrah in particular coming through. Complex aromas of dark fruit, earth, smoke, a bit of meat & bbq. The palate matches, the fruit is a bit light up front then earth & garrigue strong on the midpalate then a bbq finish. Integrated medium tannins/acid. Glad this is showing so well, I only wish it had done so in its youth as well.

  February 14, 2014 - Real value here. Real solid dark fruits and vibrant acidity to keep it in line. A massively structured wine, but drinking well now. The tart finish really lingers.

  September 28, 2013 - I will readily admit though I haven't been a huge fan in the past this is getting better with age. Aromas of black cherry & black currant with flavors of black cherry, earth, hints of additional back fruits, herbs & a touch of oak/cedar on the finish. Light acid/tannins & a medium finish. Drink now-2015.
