Maroon color. Funk and coffee dominate the nose. Black olive, soy, espresso, cedar, cherries and blackberries. Palate is smooth, savory and medium bodied. I would like to hold one of these long enough to catch it on the other side of the aging trajectory.

Decanted, lots of funk with layers of savory goodness, yep another ROC wine @ a bargain basement tariff. Hopefully the crush never catches on to the normal Syrah drinkers… This stuff is good. Drink now thru 2026/8?

Not as enjoyable as previous bottles...this was just TOO savory. It was almost like drinking soy sauce. The barest hint of fruit showing. It settled down a bit toward the end, but this was a chore to drink, much like young Horsepower Syrah. I have one more of these, so it will be interesting to see how it's showing. Drink now - 2027.

Black fruit, pepper, funky minerality, beef jerky, soy sauce, and espresso. Drinking well. Enjoy now - 2027.

Pleasant quaffer light with a bit of funk. Drink or hold.
