  Dark and meaty. I never considered a score above 91. I still have a glass or so to have tomorrow so I'll revise if it changes significantly.

  Coravin sample. Sweet violets, dark ripe cherry aroma, inviting nose
  Good acidity, round and filling fruit , earthy notes, a big mid palate, Finishes slightly warm and oaky. Very good, soft and accessible Syrah, very Californian. Would I buy again...local price is probably good but at 60 USD you can find more interesting alternatives.

  Black pepper, smoked meat and flowers on the nose. This medium bodied wine could pass for a nice St. Joseph if not for a candied sweetness that comes in late in the mouth. Very nice.
