July 11, 2021 - Beautiful Santa Ynez Syrah from one of my favorite vineyards and wine makers.
This is a somewhat subtle Syrah…not bone-crushing like some of the Washington Syrahs (which I also enjoy). -

July 19, 2020 - I am curious about this wine; I got the bacon fat. gaminess and rambly fruit initially when we opened the bottle up to the first 20 minutes or so ; ; unfortunately the finish faded quickly after that; Had it with a fabulous grilled ribeye and onions wich was a good pairing; I just curious if it has the structure to go much longer; I drank it an hour later with some steak left over and it was just ok; I kept trying to feel any lingering favors after the first mouthfeel and it just faded quickly; was it still tight after decanting it and then drinking it over 2-3 hours; Does it have the acid and structure to go much longer. that is the question; I have one more bottle and I will wait a couple of year to decide;

September 23, 2018 - Big fan of Paul's Syrahs, this is no exception. Beautiful balance, not very peppery for a Syrah, which is my preference. Allows the fruit to shine. Showing well now, still has time to further mature, but very drinkable now.
