Getting there, needs a good decant, 3+ hrs- time in bottle may help. Black fruited, loads of mineral, some wild gamey notes. Fun, but lacking if I am honest- there is one leg in the old world and another somewhere else, Oregon, I guess. Getting some acetone that eventually blows off. Full body, high acid, high tannin, needs some time, but I dunno what time will do to the wine. Preferred style wise to a Stolpman 2020 estate syrah.

Short decant. Hearty red fruit with floral nuts. Bold Syrah for an Oregon wine. Lots of fruit with a hint of spice and earth. Still has many years left in the bottle.

Too tannic for my taste with the fruit hiding behind it. Didn’t really open up over time so I am not sure that time will make a difference.

Slight maturity from 2020. Drinking very nicely right now.
