April 20, 2016 - Great QPR syrah! Blue & black fruit, a touch of oak and spice. Well integrated, and drinking really well.

January 30, 2016 - blackberry, Blackberry and Blackberry - nothing much else. Decent at 14-15 degrees but not a particullarly great wine. Medium- body, medium fresh acidity and medium tannins. open an hour before drinking.

January 10, 2016 - It would be easy to write this off as just another crowd pleaser if it weren't for the fantastic length to the finish and a decent ability to express a sense of terroir. A lot more going on below the surface than what a $15 bottle usually delivers and I think it's pretty well ready to go with a short aeration. Neither the acidity nor the tannins are particularly evident and I suggest getting to these within the next 2-3 years. 5+11+15+7= 88

January 6, 2016 - This is a great QPR weekday quaffer! Paired with rotisserie chicken, and it was fabulous. Blackberry fruit, cracked pepper, a touch of vanilla on the finish. Body, acid and tannin are all right where they need to be (medium, with light tannins). Drink now - 2018.

By Sean Sullivan
12/26/2013 (link) **** points(For a Song Syrah Columbia Valley) An aromatically compelling wine with smoke, spicebox, blueberry, boysenberry, and high toned floral notes. The palate shows depth and richness to the fruit flavors backed by chalky tannins. As good a Syrah as you’ll find at this price and better than many others at twice the price. Drinks young still. Give it some time to open up or some additional time in the cellar. 100% Syrah. Weinbau and Olsen vineyards. Aged in second (20%) and third fill oak. 14.4% alcohol. Sample provided by winery.
