PnP. Astringent for the first 30 minutes, and then evolved into something less disjointed. Very little fruit until it was open for about 2 hours. Better on the second day. This had too much backbone for the level of fruit - maybe it faded or is past its prime? One bottle remaining and drink in next 3-6 months but with a long decant. Drink up.

PNP- No formal notes as this was shared with a group of friends overlooking Teton Nation Park. I think this wine might be on the back side of the fruit so it's in a great spot for consumption.

Elegant, still vibrant but balanced, never added the body I’d hope for over 2 days. Good wine, but consistent with most of the FM wines I still have from the few years I was buying on scores, there are many better options at the price point.

Pnp at restaurant. Pretty tight coming out of the bottle but by the last glass this really started to with lots of complex layers of fruit, nice tannin on mid palate and a medium finish.

Violet in color. 14.7% ABV. 92% Syrah, 4% Viognier and 4% Roussanne made by Ross Mickel of Ross Andrew Winery. Heady nose of blue fruits, barbecued meats, molten licorice and flowers. Full bodied with loads of acidity. Thick, viscous and mouth coating. Blueberry, boysenberry, cassis liqueur and olive brine on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. This is a big, luscious wine in every sense. Not for the faint of heart. Best over the next 4-6 years.

An enticing and fulfilling Syrah that is drinking well right now. Dark purple in color, full in body, nose of blackberry and granite (with a little barnyard). Tastes of sweet cherry, licorice, and leather, with a pleasantly meaty finish. Blend of 92% Syrah, 4% Roussanne, and 4% Viognier.

- Crimsom color - Well balanced syrah, with good fruit core. Finely layered, deep complexity without the typical fleshy or peppery flavors that a lot of Syrahs have. Is youthful and restrained, this wine seems to have a lot of life left, will be interesting to see how it is in a few years. An excellent wine.

Same as July 2022 note. Disappointing - expected more.

Fantastic bottle of wine at this QPR. I wouldn't have guessed Syrah but absolutely a new world wine and Washington standout.

Drank with a Cayuse '09 Cailoux, held it's own, but a couple notches below. Still a very nice Syrah.

Big and lush. Easy to approach and full bodies with loads of fruit balanced against backbone (for Syrah) and medium + acid.

Nose is fruity but nothing special, Good ballance, goes down simply but rings no bells, faint leather on the close.
