  Popped and poured. This is a medium red wine. On the nose, I get black olives, sea salt, and decaying vegetables. In the mouth, this is a savory wine, with an obvious degree of wildness coupled together with some sour cherry notes. The finish is funky and briny while pulling a robust acid thread through the experience. Overall, this was an interesting and enjoyable wine (it has the general family style of the Bionic wines, but is ratcheted down from some Cayuse or Horsepower expressions). This should be a great wine for food, particularly Mediterranean or similar dishes. As with all these funky WA/OR border wines, this is not something everyone will enjoy or appreciate. 92 points.

  good wine, but I like Paso Robles' Syrah's a lot better, especially given the price. Strong meaty, smoke flavor, little fruit

  Coravin poured with aeration and compared to the 2014 on the same basis. The 2013 definitely displays more depth and nuance on the palette with a longer finish and smooth, but more pronounced tannins. The 2014 is lighter in weight and more fruit forward -- not unpleasant in the slightest, but a bit less interesting in its lesser complexity. Nose on both is similar, with notes of sweet tobacco and fresh turned forest loam on the 2013, and sweet cherry on the 2014. Both are quite good, but the 2013 gets the slight edge in my book.

  Ruby red in color. 13.5% ABV. Stunning nose of red fruits, saline and flowers. Light to medium body with exquisite acidity. The flavors here are so clearly unique to the Rocks District. Cherry, gamey meat, umami and minerals on the palate. The finish is long and savory. Awesome wine that got better with time in the glass. Best over the next 2-3 years.
