  Gave 2h air. Deep ruby color. Offers raspberry, dark plums, compost, pepper, toffee, 5-spice and a restrained hint of oak. Medium-full bodied, creamy and smooth, with dark fruit, licorice and raspberry hints on the palate. Spicy through the lingering finish. This wine has quite a bit of depth and character, a lot to like.

  Purple in color. 15.5% ABV. Sublime nose of dark fruits, molten licorice, Whitman Sampler box and rose hips. Full bodied with perfect acidity. Notably well balanced. Blackberry, kirsch liqueur and creme de cassis on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Stunning Syrah that goes down easy. Best over the next 2-4 years.

  'La Bomba', what a powerhouse. 100% Syrah too our surprise. Fantastic wine also for the long haul.

  Cary's Seavey Caravina Vertical: Dark fruits, minerals, some tree bark and faint violets on a very complex nose. Again, as my prior notes recant, a beautiful richness on the palate and a silky smooth mouth-coating finish that goes on for a long time. So good, fantastic QPR at $30!
