Pop & pour - simply sublime. Amazed there was still a bit of a tannic backbone. Fantastic.

10 hours of slow-ox. Drank along with a Japanese waygu rib-eye and was a terrific complement. Years and years left on this wine. Great fruit / structure. Very well balanced and tannin's are not bitter. Great wine. Can't wait to try again in ~5 years!

I can understand the controversy, low alcohol, high acidity. Nose is intoxicating. I, as well as most of the group truly enjoyed this unique expression of NorCal Syrah. Outstanding. Must be noted a few others were not fans at all. Wish I had bought much more of this - was an absolute steal at $48/btl. Would probably pay the $150 it's fetching now...
