April 3, 2018 - Pnp through a vinturri. Medium purple in appearance; nose of red licorice and spice box with some dusty raspberries and black peppers. On the palate, there are some sour black plums, tarty cherries, and black peppers; some espresso at the end. Some tannins still remain; medium bodied with a medium finish. Opened up nicely after some more air. Last tasted September 2014. 91-92 pts.

December 5, 2016 - Similar to last year. Loads of white and black pepper and a little mocha mixed in. Purple fruit on the palate with rather heavy winemaking giving this an rather lazy palate--though tasty enough. Moderate finish. Nice mid-week wine.

March 8, 2016 - Northern Rhone with Jordan Mackay (SF Wine Center): Medium ruby to a red rim.
Reductive nose, hints of burnt toast (20% new oak, 40% 1-year, 40% 2-year) - holds the oak well. Black pepper, white pepper, underripe green olive, tart blackberry, rosemary, herbs-du-provence. Lean and aggressive acid.
Medium body, moderate plus alcohol - 13.5%? (correct), medium plus acid - strong, medium tannins.

palate is full with very well integrated acidity & long spicy finish
defiantly a high class & well made syrah
not overpowering, classy & takes time to open up
