  April 13, 2022 - Dark as a moonless night. Deals in black. Breathes up black olives and exotic spice elements. Lively blackberry juice, black licorice and black olive flavors. Balanced tannins, acids and a huge core of fruit. Drink now or for five years and don’t bet against eight. Exceptional American Syrah. 93

  December 10, 2021 - A very interesting wine. Red plum color, Forest floor, herbal aromas. A very subtle hit of dark fruit on the tip of the tongue, Then, there is noticeable salinity, The wine is only very lightly acidic, but the surpising sensation that I get suggest citrus zest. That seemed very unusual. Earthiness or herbalness under the rear palate, Very different from other examples from this vineyard,

  August 23, 2020 - A fruit forward wine made from a cool climate site. Clearly picked a few weeks later than the Halcon wines. Defined by blackberry, blueberry, hints of lavender, white pepper and a bit of iron. The savory components are most pronounced on the finish: roast meats, bacon fat.

  February 3, 2020 - Nose of blackberry, metal, wet rock....
  Big dark fruit of black and blueberry combo,
  There’s a meatiness note with drying tannins to wrap the fruit coating your tongue..
  It’s my last bottle but I would love to be able to try this in 5 years..
  Very good QPR
