Masculine nose of leather, tobacco leaves, and a hint of scotch. Light in body, focused and intentional. Pure fruit and racy acidity. Drinking wonderfully now.

Aerated and decanted x 3.5 hours. In the glass this wine is a deep ruby in color. On the nose floral and herbaceous notes as well as dark fruit notes. On the tongue, black current and plums, followed by leather and licorice, as well as some subtle savory notes. Acid was slightly muted, with well integrated fine soft tannins. Mouthfeel is focused, and body is light but not too thin. Medium finish. Overall impression: this is a lovely, if somewhat straightforward, example of northern Rhone syrah. I found that overall the words gentle and lush both came to mind as descriptors, though this is not generally how I would normally characterize a wine of this style. Should continue to develop in the bottle for anther 3-5 years. ~91 points

Balanced and flavorful, medium-full body, ripe fruit with wild garrigue notes. Great value for the price. Will hold my last two bottles to see how they develop.

Ready to roll right now with medium body and medium-, soft tannin. Very typical syrah with dark fruit and some earthiness.
