March 31, 2020 - Juicy and earthy Syrah. Pure. The bouquet and profile show pepper, olive barrel market, tobacco, pencil lead, thyme, sage, lavender, black earth, and solid minerality. A touch of brett. Impressively layered, bracing, and long. High QPR.

September 26, 2019 - Ok so similar to previous note. Solid though not spectacular. I expected more. The fruit has calmed down a little but it remains in the 'simple drink now without challenge\thinking' category.

December 26, 2018 - Nothing wrong but just didn’t wow. Quite fruit forward with a fair amount of richness and overall very smooth. No edges.
Bit of a party wine? Harsh, quite possibly.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 5, 2018 - Stewed plum, blueberry, black pepper and violet. Fresh with silky tannin and a fruity attack. Plum skin and dried herbs lead to a sligthly peppery finish.
