December 12, 2018 - This wine was tryluly exceptional and one of the best Syrahs I have ever had. It was drinking solid and probably will continue to drink well for at least a couple more years, perhaps longer. Big and full-boddied but balanced and round with a long beautiful finish. It may lack the French elegance but this hit the bullseye before and with our chili dinner. Unfortunately my last bottle. ��

April 1, 2018 - Big Syrah that complemented beet braised short ribs beautifully. Plenty of heft and structure. Glad that I opened now before the wine could diminish.

November 1, 2014 - Delicious. Delicate bouquet, smooth, dark fruits, plum juice flavours, Jammy, light whipped cheesecake with plum syrup on top.
