  Similar notes as last time. Huge nose with coffee, black fruit, wet grass cuttings. Big wine. Lots of black fruit, black coffee, long finish. Still has at least 5 more years in it.

  Simply outstanding. This is drinking perfectly right now. Beat out E. Guigal Cote Rotie Brune et Blonde by a landslide head to head.

  Rich, delicious blackberry fruit with toasty flavors, excellent structure, ample finish, tannins still need to soften

  Medium bodied, modern and rustic style. This wine is two things: an elegant Californian Syrah, towards central coast volcanics with stewed fruit that turns brighter with air. And at the same time it's funky in a similar way to Cayuse's infamous style, particularly in milkiness, high salinity, wilted greens, long meaty finish. Would go as far as to call this vintage a baby Cayuse: lighter bodied, less of that "dirty" complexity, more approachable. Good value.
  
  Could use 2-4 years to more fully balance, but do not hesitate to open today.

  Rather creamy,sweet. To young, maybe, but this is certainly a Californian smooth opetator, peppery notes, sweetness, olives, true blooded Syrah packed with West Coast charm. Worked well with a steak.
