  Slow ox one hour. Funkiness/earth and smoke on the nose. Palate very well balanced with dark fruit and gamey with little bit of iron. Drinking great

  Little bit of animal, little bit of barnyard on the nose. Had some dark red fruits that are overlaying mineralogy. Palate is very nice and actually pretty integrated right now. I think there’s some acidity in the structure here that gives it a little bit brightness. Little bit of dried fruit note as well. This is in a great place, nice long finish, a bit drying with structure there. right now it is a nice long finish little bit of dry and structure up on that as well. I think in terms of Syrah, this is very pure and very good. Probably 95.

  Gorgeous deep ruby-garnet color with zero color degradation. Slate, clay, red flowers, and a strong mustiness on the nose. Black raspberry notes with strong rose petals, but it’s a bit flat. A touch of black licorice and boysenberry on the finish. It doesn’t feel like this is a temporary slump.

  2 hour decant was helpful and more would help. A well balanced, medium bodied, fruit forward wine that is in its prime. This should drink well for another 3-5 years but doesn’t have the backbone for extended cellaring.

  Beautiful medium ruby color. Mulberries and raspberry cream on the nose. Mixed red and black berries with funk and a touch of cream. Tasty.
