    September 10, 2022 - If I was drinking this blind, I would have guessed Australian Shiraz. Brambly, with tons of berry flavors (blackberry dominant). Guessing whole cluster fermentation. Decanted an hour in advance, but opened up wonderfully in the glass.

    June 6, 2022 - This Syrah from Joey Tensley was absolutely beautiful and drank even better on day 3! Purple in color and opaque in the glass

    Day 1: Aromas of blackberry, smoke, briny olive, and lavender on the nose; tastes of blackberry, briny olive, iron, and pepper on the palate; medium(+) body, medium(+) acidity, and medium(+) tannins that were slightly grippy; long, salty and minerally finish.

    Day 3: Aromas of blackberry, black raspberry, olive, and lavender on the nose with tastes of blackberry and black pepper on the palate.
