Return to Napa; 3/6/2022-3/13/2022 (Wineries and various restaurants): So it turns out that I am a Syrah person. In a week where we've been drinking a lot of cabernet my first taste of the syrah was a 'oh - yes - I really like this'. There's fruit and a hint of game and a certain juiciness. Needs a lot more time, but it is quite enjoyable.
Decanted 3 hrs, amazing bouquet on opening that only got better, tons of dark fruits and roasted meats flavors, with hints of floral and flint, great acidity, great complexity and a nice long finish. Stored at 55 F definitely has given this a long life. One bottle left...tock tock, can’t wait.

Zachy's BYO 2019: Some tomato-like green/blue fruit aromatics, which seems characteristics to their 07s, but overall very luscious, jammy and enjoyable. Generous showing. 94

深石榴红酒体,闻香有鲜肉味,新鲜红果,入口酸度明亮,单宁非常细腻,成熟的黑色水果香气,风格非常甜美,橡木桶带来的香草奶油味道明显,酒体饱满,肉感,是那种华丽肥美的同时又保持了细节的感觉。一支正当壮年的酒,没有上一支这么老,感觉是一支法国波尔多右岸赤霞珠梅洛混酿的感觉,华丽而又优雅,成熟而又饱满,美国酒厉害。

Big rich funky US Syrah, still very young. Pronounced violets, perfumed, gorgeous!
