Had while ago and can't remember notes specifically but thought this was very nice and well balanced. Nice old school syrah freshness without being gloopy or heavy.

Return to Willamette; 7/2/2023-7/8/2023 (Portland & Willamette): A producer that I quite like and fun to get to try this wine since we’ve got a bunch of it in pending. It’s got the structure and iron ore background I expect from Cote Rotie. Quite tasty.

Opened well in advance given how young the wine is. Deep and rich nose. The palate is concentrated with notes of red and blue fruit, pepper and smoke. Very tasty.

Nose of smoked meat, very black fruit... Very concentrated with cold black fruit, very silky tannin, lots of potential ahead, needs 3-5 additional years in the bottle.

Nose of cold red and black fruit, roasted bacon... Tannins puissants, slightly drying in a nice way, black ripe fruit, integrated tannin.
