June 24, 2019 - Served vis-avis Trollat, a bit more matter here, yet balance is great, real terroir feeling too.

December 19, 2018 - Syrah Night with an Expanded Version of Our Tasting Group (Bear and Star, Los Olivos, CA): Not the best bottle due to a persistent barnyard funk that would not blow off. Reductive, with muted plum, fennel and herbal notes. Fully integrated tannins.

November 16, 2018 - Aging absolutely gracefully. No bricking at all. Full of classic Syrah notes, still years of development ahead

April 9, 2018 - Saturated ruby, rubber glove nose, clean dark cherry, hints of herb and olive and minerals on the end. Really classy and well balanced.
Second half of bottle, three weeks later (Coravin), sweeter fruit, cherry liqueur. -

March 30, 2016 - Really love wine. compelling balance between elegant floral nose and earthy, plums and acid on palate. Definite depth and energy. Obvious tannins and acid become too dominant after about 1 hour in decanter. Would drink now and pair with aromatic but earthy food (think mushrooms).
