May 23, 2007 - Every time i open this bottle I am amazed at how well it stacks up against syrahs like pride and lewis. This wine is so undervalued, with vibrant, multilayered fruit, soft tannin structure, and toasty oak. The finish is moderate, and the midpalate is fat and racy. Delicious! Remains one of the best syrahs I have ever had.

April 28, 2007 - Continues to wow. Has deep fruit with blueberry, blackberry, and some mocha. beautiful mouthfeel with well balanced tannins/acidity along with nice complexity. Moderate finish. Very underappreciated wine. Too bad that was the last bottle.

April 22, 2006 - Fantastic syrah. Filled with fruit, vanilla, and chocolate. Nice finish with soft tannins. Too bad I only have one more bottle.
