  A wonderfully lean, cool climate Syrah. The acidity level is very nice, giving the fruit flavors a juiciness I greatly enjoy. Notes of just ripe blackberries, sour cherry, baking spice, and a touch of white pepper. Lots of fine tannin. This will continue to age beautifully for at least 5 more years.

  Drinking beautifully! Still plenty of fruit remaining. Nose of ripe stawberry, blackberry, menthol, hints of black pepper and basil. Fine, nearly resolved, tannins and a touch of green tannin as well. I’m suprised how fresh the fruit is considering it’s age. Wish I had more

  This wine is hitting its stride. A big nose of ripe wild blackberry, fennel/anise, cedar, clove, with hints of white pepper and menthol. The palate carrys over the blackberry and white pepper, and adds mildly sweet oak and leather to the lingering finish. There’s still ample fine tannin, but also a touch of bitter green tannins that I didn’t notice in previous tastings. Personally I’d like a little more acidity, but this wine is balanced enough for me to enjoy. I think it’ll continue to evolve for a few more years before it tires out.
