December 29, 2023 - Some complex notes (sweet, pepper, cooking spices) make this enjoyable; will buy again.

November 23, 2023 - Little bit of VA when you first open the bottle so make sure to let it blow off before tasting
The wine opens up into rich complex aromas of cherry, raspberry, milk chocolate, dried herbs, a hint of menthol, and cassis. Nice ripe flavors, no steminess. Developing nicely and will continue to age well. For my palate, this is the perfect time to drink this wine
Tannins are strong and fuzzy, but not grippy or velvety. The wine has a full body and medium high acidity making for a beautiful balanced final product1 person found this helpful -

November 10, 2023 - Decanted - very nice petite syrah. Rather mellow and soft compared to the earlier bottle a couple years ago - in a good spot now with a decant and air.
