  October 16, 2021 - (Blind tasting)
  Very classic Syrah nose. White pepper and black berry. Oak and smoke. Red fruit elegance. Gravel and mineral. Complex and almost burgundy-like. Lovely. Perfectly mature.
  Medium-fullish palate. Fresh. More tannic than fruity. No monster. Gunpowder and mineral. Red fruit. Better on the nose, but still lovely and harmonius.

  June 5, 2010 - At The Ledbury. Dark ruby, youthful appearance. Nose somewhat reticent with blackberry fruit and some rich soil and mineral notes emerging. Medium/full bodied, more expressive on the palate with blackberry fruit, spice and rich soil, not much pepper or gameyness, silky tannins, harmonious medium/good length finish. Pretty good and certainly ready if lacking a little complexity and that wild cornas edge.

  January 16, 2010 - Fairly hot. Still very primary (candied) red fruit, not showing any of the game/leather/tar/funk that I enjoy in Cornas. In a blind tasting I would have called this a good Washington State syrah. A well-made wine, but not to my taste.
