  Dark and blue fruits hits you simultaneously. Great length too. The nose is a bit bacon but the palate is fruit.

  Excellent. Smooth and complex. Black cherry and raspberry on the palate. An hour decant is beneficial. Even better night two.

  Beautiful raspberry and cherry fruits, mint julep, pine trees, wild mushroom. A finish that goes for days. Totally balanced - could likely go another 5+ years.

  This is excellent Syrah. One of many Big Basin efforts.
  Full bodied and rich, but not heavy. On the palate, strong black cherry and currants. Tasted over two nights, it began to shine on the second night. Decant for at least an hour. Will continue to evolve.

  Opened two bottles for a large wine tasting event. Didn't have time to decant. It was beautiful. The berries still vibrant, the complexity and roundness. The nose so good that you were in no rush to taste it. Too bad this block is now budded over to Pinot. (although the Pinot is also fabulous!) Don't be afraid to pull this one out for special people.
