  April 7, 2024 - Ok, let me start with I like their cabs, but not so much their sauv blanc and syrah. I already confessed, so I will admit that I place this wine in the middle of the syrah pack. I is easier to say what is wrong , than what is right. To start with the fruit forwardness did not overly impress, good but not great. The acidity, tannins, legs and aroma were good, not great (I use can you smell it "across the room" test). The last item is price - for the price did I get my money's worth, here it cam up short. I have 2 more bottles, but I personally do not think that will add anything, maybe even decrease my opinion.

  March 3, 2024 - 60 minute decant. Nose of black cherry, roses, violets, and tea. Quick bite of dark fruit and meaty notes, then the palate unfolds white pepper, iron, and black tea flavors. The black tea continues on the finish, adding dry black fruit, black olive, dried cherry, and a long lingering finale of tannins and dusty earth. In the late stage of life.

  This bottles shows a modern yet reserved style of Napa Syrah. It showed well but was overshadowed by terroir of Chave & Guigal.
  
  What does stand out about this wine is the mouth feel. Very round hitting all corners. A very pleasurable wine.

  September 7, 2022 - 45 minute decant. Nose of sweet dark red cherries. Palate shows layers of sweet black cherry, cocoa, wet stones, and white pepper with tannins that caress the tongue. The tannins unfold on the finish, adding graphite, granite, plum skins, and a kiss of oak. Super balanced and sophisticated wine.

  February 14, 2021 - PNP-Served up with home made Pizza for family Valentines day dinner. Amazingly smooth tannins. Border line on cassis syrup without going over for me, so darn easy to drink. Day two the other fruit and chocolate notes started to shine. More balanced fruit than stewed meats. Not a Northern Rhone or new world fruit bomb. Lovely take on Syrah from a fantastic vineyard and team. Thanks Lite for the inspiration! 94
