On the nose, ripe concentrated dark fruits, and dark chocolate. The fruit carries over to a taste of blackberries with a hint of pepper and some earth tones. Full mouth feel and it lingers nicely. Paired very well with rare prime rib and filet. Still a couple more of this vintage in the cellar to drag out over the next two years.

Great wine... beautiful example of a dark, brooding Syrah. Almost black in color, some fine sediment, meaty nose with some graphite. Great velvety mouthfeel with a long finish. This wine should drink great over the next 10 years.

This is one big boy of a Syrah. Infanticide to drink it now, but I just couldn't resist. Dark fruit profile, with tight, grippy tannins. Wait on drinking for now

Nice juice, approachable out of the bottle. Not quite as hedonistically rich as the 2013
