I had the 'Unnamed' Syrah from this vintage just a week ago. I was blown away by that one and this was only a little behind. Lots of stewed plum, earth, leather and meat. This is drinking well and has some years left, but won't get better. Actually better on the second night. Lovely.

So a bottle in Feb 22 was unexpectedly reticent, a bottle in Nov 22 was a tad short on fruit, and this bottle, our last, was shy on all three: fruit, acid and tannins. In fact there was more green olive than fruit. Still very drinkable but the energy's gone, they're just fading away. Drink up.

My last bottle of the vintage. Bacon and bright red berry notes on the nose and palate. The fruit may be ever so fading, but still a really nice wine, and with probably a few more years in the drinking window. I would not wait too long, however.

Brought to dinner at Copine…. I like French Syrah and realize this has become a successful varietal in Washington state…. This producer is highly regarded and the rocks district is the apex of Syrah grapes. However, I continue to find Washington wines are a struggle for me.
A strong nose of asphalt and tar, medium across the palate. I just expected a more voluptuous and dynamic wine, but was left flat.

Brine, asphalt, dark fruit, rocks craziness. Just what you would expect! On the backside of its peak.
