  November 29, 2018 - Needs at least 20 minutes of air. The ingredients are there, but it's missing the personality for a 90 wine. Finish on the short side.

  June 20, 2017 - A great value. Well made, well priced St Joseph that delivers.
  
  Standard St Joseph dark berries, bit of orange, flick of barnyard. Just nice.

  April 2, 2017 - mis en bouteille à la propriété, 100% Syrah, 12.5% alcohol, Saranty Imports, White Plains, NY; medium legs, dark red -- almost black, fruit forward nose, taste shows notes of melon, stone fruit, lychee; not fruit forward, dry, minerals; needs more cellaring, no doubt; pair with soft or hard cheese; short finish

  April 2, 2017 - Wild berry fruit and black pepper on the nose. Same delicious wild berry mix on the palate, with a texture of fine silk, it glides along your tongue. Seriously, the texture was my favorite part of this wine. Finished with that same black pepper note I got on the nose. Medium weight. 13%abv. Delicious.

  June 12, 2016 - This was a nice surprise, to find a reasonable priced St Joseph and then for it to be so good. While clearly young, it had many of the hallmarks of good French Syrah; dark smoky blackberry fruit, white pepper, fresh herbs.
