  Kinda funky at first, really took a few hours to open up, but then revealed a nice clean syrah. I'd put it in the 90-91 range

  I liked this but I found it more new world than old. Lots of varietal fruit. Syrah spice. A sweetness that I associate with Sta Rita Hills style. Maybe a bit hot, very well structured. Very enjoyable - it went fast.

  I really enjoyed this. Medium body and color, spice, elegant, balanced. A nice cool climate syrah that offers an interesting counterpoint to the syrahs made from grapes grown more inland. Very different from the Verna's by Jaffurs, which is also fantastic.
