February 25, 2024 - Decanted for one hour. Nose of blackberry, blueberry, gamey meat, herbs and a hint of spearmint. Black and blue fruit, gamey meat and dried herbs on the palate. Finishes with good length. Medium to full bodied. Served with pepperoni pizza.
December 5, 2023 - Might be one of the worst Syrahs I have in quite sometime.
February 5, 2022 - Alcohol whiff on the nose…then ripe plum and red fruit..
Blackberry, plum, cinnamon, can get the tannic stem component,
Enough acidity to keep it bright enough , finishes with a firm tannin dryness… probably better in 3 years or so…
May 22, 2021 - Rich and expressive. First day was very fruit forward after a bit in the decanter, but the tannins were quiet, which I found odd. Second day was a different wine, fruit much more muted, but the whole cluster side showing up to the show. It think with more time the two might come come together.

January 19, 2021 - Mistakenly labeled under 50% whole cluster heading; notes from last night:
Yesterday: Decanted 30 mins and drank. This was a menthol mess from the get-go, and didn’t change over two hours. There may have been other notes in there but the menthol nose and palate was so off-putting. Put back in bottle under cork and tried again tonight and the same if not worse: all menthol and mint. I’ve had other Myriad wines and they’ve been good, including their syrahs, so I’m trying to believe this wine is ruined/spoiled/corked in some way, but I’ve not had a corked wine that displayed this character. Be interested to know if others have had a similar profile from a corked wine.
August 28, 2020 - Bright fruit--red berries. plums--introduce this wine. Brightness comes from just the right level of acidity. A nice, full-bodied wine. I had the stemmed and crushed version of this wine the other day, and this one is a much more approachable wine. I know I am committing infanticide, but curiosity won out. Remaining bottles will stay sideways for several more years.
