April 3, 2024 - Updated review from my 2022 entry. This is drinking really well. Orion Stang can make some wine! The depth is there. All the big flavors I want in a Syrah are there. This goes down really smooth and still has nuance.
Enjoy! -

March 9, 2022 - A little different Syrah as not as heavy as some. Lots of earthy flavors with pepper and spice.

May 2, 2020 - Young but very drinkable now, especially on day two. Initial taste of plentiful black fruit with some vanilla and light mint notes and some plum on the backend. Medium acidity, with a long finish. This is a really nice Syrah and will improve with age. This could be a point or two high in another 2-3 years.
