March 7, 2020 - Pop and pour. Silky Napa Syrah with lots of dusty rock and light spice on the nose and balanced dark fruit in the palate with supple tannins. These are quite elegant and refined Syrahs for when you're not in the mood to fight with your wine.

February 8, 2020 - Drinking really nice right now, it’s big, bold, very dark and as normally happens, Syrah take different notes depending where they came from. Finish is long and food makes the wine shine brighter!
