Dark fruit nose. smoke, and spice. Inky hue. Nice balance, dark fruit, can be drunk with or without food, earthy, little spice. Nice bottle of juice that is aging well.

Similar to last bottle and ready to drink but has many years. I think a decant also really helps and after a few hours it softens and sweetens somewhat. Still has plush fruit once warm and opened and still retains a slightly cooler sappy element on finish. A solid showing.

This was better than expected based on recent notes. Decanted for 1 hour. Bright nose of dark fruit, florals, smoke, and spice. Taste initially dominated by olive and brine opening up with more dark fruit after just a little more air. Nice density and lingering acidity on the finish. Definitely on the earthy side, but with ample fruit. I found it hard to put down.

Very good new world Syrah . Rich good fruit with balancing acids. Not terribly complex but a very well made wine that’s drinking well !

A very pleasant Syrah. Black fruit, little tannins. Drinking very well right now. Not sure I would wait much longer to drink.
