November 26, 2022 - Decanted. Bright, black-garnet color with clear-ruby edges. Aromas of black cherry & currant, smoked paprika, black tea, cracked peppercorn, mesquite char and clove. Deep and concentrated on the palate, with blackberry and plum fruit emerging, along with seamless secondary five spice, rosemary & violet, leather and cedar. Refined and polished, well-integrated and medium-to-full in weight, expansive. Cool-toned acid and fine round tannins, finishing with lengthy zesty black fruit. Excellent, still youthful.

November 29, 2021 - Better than average but nothing special. Too spoiled?

June 22, 2019 - Blind Tasting of Central Coast Syrah with a ringer: Notes of black cherry, dried rosemary & sage, leather, tapenade and dried florals. Nicely layered savory depth on the palate with appealing density showing some finesse and elegance. Fruit emerging in the middle. Thick fleshy tannins, with good length.
