  February 16, 2021 - Still outstanding and able to stand up to an 05, 06, 07 vertical as a close #2 to the 05. Lots of fruit still evident despite the green notes on the nose.

  January 13, 2021 - So nice to try one of these older AR Syrahs. I have many younger ones but not ready to drink. 13 years along this is opening up but still many miles to go. Smells of aromatic gum, cherry, olive, lilac and blackberry. Really good but I would prefer to drink this In five more years.

  September 18, 2018 - Coming into its own now - not nearly past its window. Tannins are still strong yet softened and integrated after dropping a lot of sediment. Quite dry, yet well balanced with complex dark fruit flavors and appropriate acid. Competitor to northern Rhone syrahs. This really grows on you. Much better than it was a few years ago, when it was somewhat harsh. I hope I'm not the only one with more in the cellar.

  October 10, 2015 - Bu au Bistro Fringale (AVV) de Granby avec Bulle, Bordeaux70 et Meursault.
  Très belle Syrah des USA, similitude avec le Rhône Nord.
  Tapenade, poivre, mure et viande, bien équilibré, minéral et digeste.
  Délicieux.
