    September 7, 2016 - Still drinking well and I expect it to hold up for at least another few years.

    August 17, 2013 - Dark berries, cocoa, earth and spice. Smooth and velvety; a nice wine.

    July 14, 2012 - A nose of dark fruit and spice, dark garnet in color. A full bodied single vineyard Syrah, with blackberries, currants, smoky spice and pepper with a long finish. A great QPR and complex wine.

    October 22, 2011 - - Garnet color - Full body. Very ripe. Stewed berry, big alcohol. A bit over extracted and unbalanced but delicious. I was surprised by how nice this was. Wish I had more. Awesome qpr

    October 5, 2011 - Good QPR at around $15. At that price I would say this is an interesting wine. This is not the predictable candied Aussie style Syrah, but neither is it a super refined Cali syrah. I would argue this is somewhere in the middle. Nose more muted than the over-the-top fruit bomb, but still not so subtle that you can't tell what you're drinking. I did not expect to like this, but the flavor profile showed some chocolate and plum to offset the brighter fruit, giving it a unique (to me at least) flavor profile that was refreshing. That said, it was still fairly one dimensional, showing nothing new on the mid-to-back palette, hence the at-$15-this-is-a-good-QPR-argument. However, if I had to pick a wine to drink tonight, I would spend a couple of bucks more and opt for Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz, always well made and has never let me down.
