  March 30, 2015 - Very nice, somewhat aged Napa syrah. Subtle nose of black cherry and black licorice. On the palate more of the licorice comes out with some earthiness, crisp acidity and muted dark fruit. The tannins are nicely integrated and fine grained and the finish is of medium length.

  November 20, 2011 - A lovely wine coming into its own after a decade. Softer tannins, mild fruit. Enjoyed with: eggplant parmigiana, and a "winter torte" (Chicken dark meat, chicken sausages, apricots and apples in a bread -crust pie). Not a fruit bomb. Would have enjoyed more fruit and complexity, but an usual touch to the earth.

  October 14, 2007 - Decanted. A bit hard edged at first, but settled down after about 45 minutes. Nice fruit and spice. We enjoyed it.
