April 22, 2023 - Drinking at peak. After a 2 hour decant it was singing. Complex and full of dark fruits with a long finish and notes of iron and dried flowers. Drink now!

August 1, 2020 - Medium purple. Attractive blue fruits, vanillin, lilac and wild berries aromas and flavors. Long, intense and velvety finish redolent of ripe blueberries.

August 5, 2019 - Medium Purple. Savory aromas of black pepper and smoked bacon combine with sweet blackberry and boysenberry. The sweet/savory interplay carries over to the palate that shows ripe black fruits, sweet oak, freshly ground pepper and hoisin sauce. Excellent depth and tension. Finishes with dry chalky tannins. Everything you’d expect in a Syrah.

January 4, 2019 - Black cherries, black raspberries, leather, floral, and a hint of chocolate in the nose and flavor. Medium bodied and a medium to long finish. Very nice, just lacked the complexity to warrant a higher score.
