June 19, 2021 - A very mature and mellow syrah with an earthy and pepper nose that is tied well together with a berry that just on the darker side of rasberry. Palate is the same with calm tanins and a long finish. Very enjoyable!

December 31, 2017 - Dense and juicy blackberry predominates, with pepper spice and a hint of olives. Finishes long and dry, yet the tannins are completely subsumed by the density of the fruit, which manages to give shape to the wine. A jovial syrah in all.
