  Popped and poured as an end of night sipper. A very ripe and fruit forward syrah with a mix of blackberry, black cherry, black plum mixed with some tar and beef jerky notes. Medium acidity, not too much in the tannin department. Smooth mouthfeel but slightly on the thick side. Well made and tasty wine with some typical syrah flavors but still a bit too much ripeness and alcohol for me, even though this wine is relatively balanced.

  P&P on night one and rated 90. Was very tight. Two nights later it had opened up a lot. I didn't take detailed notes, but score went up to 92. Definitely decant this wine.

  The flavor notes are unchanged from my last note; the structural elements have integrated, drink now. Still a very tasty syrah.

  Black fruit, bloody meat, smokey tar - more evocative of a cooler climate Cali syrah, like Monterey or Santa Cruz mountains. Full and delicious, and drinking quite well... for my money Nick and Scott at Torrin produced the finest wines in Paso from this cold shatter vintage.
