October 23, 2018 - Great on PnP and maybe even slightly better on night two after VinVac. Great mix of bright red fruit from the Grenache layered with dark fruit and savory aspects of the Syrah. I really enjoyed this.

June 23, 2015 - For the $32 lastbottlewine.com price- I made out like a bandit! I think the bad reviews are from people trying to keep this wine for themselves. Well done mostly Syrah blend, with some Grenache and splash of Viognier. Big bold dark Syrah and that is softened by the bright Grenache fruit and Viognier. I liked this wine a lot and kicking myself for not buying more.
