  As suspected this Syrah needed a few years to come together. One of the most balanced new world Syrahs Ive ever had along with Jonata Sangre de Jonata, and Saxum James Berrys. Barnyard, leather, mountain bay laurel, dried cassis, and moist earth. Unfortunately it's matured more than I expected at this point. Near perfect now. Im sure it has some time considering the balancve and beautiful acid backbone.If you have a well cellared bottle at home try with a nice rack of lamb like we did.

  Solid cool climate Syrah, combining savory red fruit flavor with black olive notes. Loved it.

  Didn’t fully come together but I didn’t really give it a lot of time or air. Peppery, tho, with a great smoky nose.

  Felt like it might need a few years. A little disjointed
