February 7, 2021 - Wow, wow, wow. This remains perhaps my favorite Bedrock syrah ever made. Rich, meaty blackberry nose accented by smoke and black olives. The last time I had this (8 years ago), I noted that it was pretty restrained and elegant. This has filled out now, with a dense mouthfeel, smooth finish, and nice lift from the acidity. A bit more modern-styled than is my current preference (reminds me of a LaLa), but this is really good stuff, and sadly, my last bottle.

Lovely

July 28, 2018 - Chili, BBQ, Syrah and Other Things With River Rat (Brian Tuite's Backyard): Poured blind as part of a 6 wine syrah flight. Pepper and smoke, lavender (what I would guess to be a trio of whole cluster imprint). Smooth and polished, terrific depth. Cooked meat, garrigue , tangy and meaty, with the herbal qualities finishing the wine. This is bigger styled but made in a way that is delicious.

December 8, 2016 - This syrah still seemed to be in a primary stage. Blackberries dominated the nose and palate with underlying brush. As the wine opened, spice became more prominent, though the fruit also became a bit richer and remained the star. Tannin was well integrated and overall structure made for a balanced wine.
