    April 26, 2018 - Must be drinking at right time. Everything in balance. Deep purple, plums and dark berries on nose and palate. Nice finish.

    February 28, 2018 - Delicious. Right at first but awesome even 3 hrs into it. Wish we would’ve paced ourselves!

    December 22, 2016 - Decanted... but slow to open up. Underwhelming on the first night... no pronounced fruit on the nose or flavor palate. Some tannins on the finish, but absent more fruit presence, this just made it seem bitter (would have rated it 86). On day two, more fruit came forward and the purple fruit flavors came forward. Tannins seemed more integrated now (rated 88, based on day 2). Still short of noteworthy... and at winery prices, just an average QPR.

    November 21, 2016 - White pepper, cherries, riped red fruit on the nose. Full bodied, fruit forward on the pallet. Ready to drink!

    September 17, 2016 - Big. Bold. Intense fruit. My liver was working overtime on this one, and it was totally worth it. Will be buying more JP Syrah in future vintages.
