Over the past year it has been hit or miss for us drinking Herman Stories. Maybe we aren't drinking at the peak but found many that didn't age very well. This isn't the case on this one though. The nose is leaning heavy on the syrah side and found it to be very balanced. I thought there was a bit of bitterness on the finish but my wife didn't. The tannins have bellowed nicely as did the alcohol.

Big, meaty, full-bodied ... a typical Herman Story. This wine has aged wonderfully and is in a great place right now.

Always a crowd pleaser from Herman Story, the Larner Vineyard is one of my favorite Syrah/Grenache blends.

Solid 93. Herman Story always delivers. Larner Vineyard Syrah lived up to expectations, meaty, full-bodied
