August 29, 2015 - Neighbors brought this over on 8/29/15 when a severe storm knocked out power and we had a "Syrah by candle light” tasting. It had a deep, ripe and complex bouquet of smoked meat, blackberry, blueberry, plum, licorice and spice aromas. The palate was rich, ripe, dry and nicely integrated with flavors that followed the nose. 91+

March 2, 2015 - Very nice. Gorgeous ruby red. Oak & cedar nose. Delicious deep dark (not sweet) black cherry and blueberry palate. Bright acidity. Hold onto it some more if you're so inclined.

July 30, 2013 - Very nice Shiraz. Dark in color and holding up nicely. Tannins are smooth and the fruit is not too much. Last of 6 bottles.

October 9, 2012 - Good, solid shiraz w/ blueberry, blackberry and cocoa notes. A hint of sweetness from the fruit. Little if any oak, which was a pleasant surprise. Tannins are pretty mellow at this point. Probably not going to improve much with any more age - drink relatively soon.
