March 3, 2019 - very good again. Bright and fruity. Very tasty
September 20, 2018 - Dried fruit, strawberry, and a hint of chocolate on the nose. Great wood. Solid acidity and nicely balanced. A touch light on tannins. I'd be happy to have another bottle. Let it open for at least an hour.
March 29, 2018 - Wonderful.
July 27, 2017 - Very good. Dark in color. Fruity and tasty.
November 1, 2016 - A very good, youthful, big, dark and fruit forward 100% syrah from a premier producer in The Rocks AVA centered around Walla Walla WA. A very good QPR wine and with more maturation, integration and balance I easily see at least another additional 1-2 points. Easily another 5-10 years to go under proper cellaring conditions. Decanted for almost an hour and although approachable / drinkable now I would recommend, time allowing, a good 2-3 hour decant - right now this wine probably cannot get enough aeration. Nose dark, intense and slightly sweey with oak, dark fruit, sweet red cherry and a eucalyptusy note on the end. Flavor profile big, youthful and leaner / drier with oak, intense dark fruit and cola on the front end and a long, beautiful and lingering finish of more earthy gamey notes, again finishing up with a distinct minty / eucalyptusy note I generally equate with Aussie shirazs - ? eucalyptus trees on the property perhaps ? Definitely recommend this wine with the caveat that it needs more time or a lot of air.
September 18, 2015 - This was an absolute "party on the palate" when we tasted it at the tasting room!
May 8, 2014 - Really liked this. Open a good two hours prior to consumption and opened up beautifully. Nice rounded black fruits on the palate. Fairly balanced as well. Drinking very smoothly now and not sure how long this will hold..if you have some try it now after decanting.
April 2, 2014 - Purple wonder. Loved it. Balanced fruit forward. Plums and Yums !! Buy more!!
