  Nice tangy, leaner style (which I enjoy) Syrah. Simple Syrah flavors. 14.2° alcohol but tastes like it would be 12.8°. Somewhat Short, clipped finish.

  Consistent with previous bottles. Consensus favorite wine of the night. Just really well made syrah with dark black/blue fruit, black pepper, violet. Medium+ acidity, smooth mouthfeel and finish. Drinking great.

  Enjoy the “house” style of Syrah. This is my second time drinking this bottling and it strikes me as very close to a Pinot. Nice perfume of blackberry, raspberry, and rose. With air the nose intensifies and is just fantastic. Not too strong or overpowering or overly meaty, minimal oak present.
  
  Palate is also elegant in style with some salinity, dark fruit, olive tapenade, dried purple flowers.
  
  Excellent and in its prime.

  Great Cali syrah. Nice varietal flavor and tone, great balance - life for years to come.
