December 2, 2023 - This has really benefited from 10 years in the cellar...an excellent NPV Syrah with dark berry flavors and a long finish.

March 17, 2023 - My last bottle of this vintage and the least favorite of 6 bottles. It was part of a Syrah night at a NYC steakhouse, and it was opened, but not decanted for over 45 minutes before pouring. It was good, but I was expecting much more. It was my least favorite wine of the night. Still at 91 points, it is pretty good. Full bodied, dark color and a medium+ length finish.

February 22, 2023 - So this is in the spirit of a Napa field blend and with sufficient age it is spectacular.

August 31, 2022 - This poured a deep red. A wow nose of sweet dark cherries, red and blue fruit, spice and smoky embers. The magic continued on the richly fruited palate with excellent inner-mouth perfume and a long spicy finish. This is still very much in the zone and likely has another 5 or more years of prime drinking ahead. Excellent.
