  By the glass at Noreetuh in NYC. Nose is rich and candied, blueberries and a hint of baking spices. It was blind so I guessed California Syrah. Palate is actually bright and lighter bodied. Cherries, candied orange peel, cranberries, good acidity, medium long finish. Very nice

  Delicious. Red fruit (strawberry/cherry), balsamic/umami and herbs/soil. Medium integrated acid & tannins. Drinking great now, should go at least through its 10th birthday.

  Crimson in color. 13.2% ABV. Savory nose of bright red fruits, iron and recently tilled soil. Light to medium body with medium acidity. Refreshing and crisp. Flavors of cherries, strawberries, earth and baking spices. The delicate finish lingers on the palate. Delicious, fairly priced and easy to drink. Best over the next 2-3 years.

  OMFG good. Bright, crunchy red fruits, fresh acidity, with a savory streak and a hint of cinnamon. Thinking this could age for some time but hot damn is is delicious right now. Wish I had more....but this definitely confirms what I already knew in regards to maxing out my allocation and wishlist again next year.

  A reminder that food and wine belong together. This really spread its wings, with dinner - brightened significantly and dropped some weight. Cool perspective.
