  December 18, 2021 - Dark inky in color with a purplish rim.
  
  Full bodied with medium acidity.
  
  Showing black fruits with oak, light vanilla, dark chocolates, coffee, light barnyard, tar, peppercorn, light earth, light vegetables and herbs.
  
  Long spicy finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
  
  This is a delicious Syrah from the Central Coast in California. Smooth and easy drinking with a nice mouthfeel.
  
  Drinking very nicely now, and will be nice to revisit in 3 years, and see how it evolves.
  
  This Single Vineyard is Good by itself as a sipping wine. Fruit forward with nice complexity. Rich and intense. Delicious.
  
  Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes of airtime.
  
  100% Syrah grapes aged in French oak barrels (50% new).
  
  15.2% alcohol by volume.
  
  92 points.
  
  $90.

  January 22, 2021 - After receiving the winemaker’s cellaring chart yesterday, which showed this to be drinking optimally right now, we decided to give it a go. We agree- this is currently drinking excellent! Lots of dark red & black fruits on the nose, along with some black cherry, white pepper, red licorice, hints of smokiness, dried leaves, dusty earth, and anise. On the palate, dark red fruits, rich savory plum, red currant, bing cherry, and a hint of espresso. Very smooth with a long finish. Between the two of us, we gave it 96+ and 98, so 97 it is!
