Decent wine more like a new world PN than old world Syrah. Good bright red fruit on the front end and stoney minerals on the back end. Good value below $30 but would pay more than $35.

Decanted 1 hour. Drinking out of a Pinot Noir glass, which helps this light and smooth wine express itself. I would say this wine is southern Rhone inspired, but not trying to be a southern Rhone wine. Delightful nose with black cherry and a trace of cedar, sweet tobacco and oiled leather. The palate shows red raspberry on the entry, then cherry vanilla cola, baking spices and finishes with a dry sweet finish. Delishes alone or good with food.

Light body and on the sweet side without being cloying, very approachable. Good without or with food - a good pizza wine. Strawberry fruit, some black pepper cinnamon and a pleasant lingering finish with some light tannins. A few more years should help balance the fruit.

I want to agree with Californiagirl on her comments. Pretty weak and the last bottle I also rated low. Not corked or anything, just weak and thin. Hope Miner can make good on it. I don't have a good bottle reference.

My low score is not a reflection of the wine. Waited to long to drink and the structure folded and the fruit was diminished. What a waste!

Decanted about 2 hours. Light with little body. Nice fruit but not overly impressed. Fits the bill of a light Pinot, not a red blend.

Surprisingly good. Very light in color. Stronger nose and mouth feel than you'd expect by sight. Nice bargain.

A little light, but still very good red blend

Hints of mint, fennel on nose. Long finish. Decanted an hour prior to tasting.
