Nose is full throttle, gasoline, corn nuts, blackberry jam, red licorice. Palate is basicaly the same thing, patent leather, strawberry, white and black pepper, black licorice, tons of acidity to balance the tannins and ripe, ripe fruit. Good stuff but maybe not for an entire bottle (yet?)

Big, ripe and rich, as expected. Bursting with dark fruit. More fruit forward than the single vineyard designate HS syrahs but still showing meaty, savory notes. Another great effort.

When it is 44 degrees on May 3 in Chicagoland you need something special that is only going to warm my soul and spirit. This Herman Story Syrah is just what the doctor ordered. Inky, purple fruit with lovely ripeness. Beautiful spice notes with boysenberry syrup. Big ABV, but as they say, if you can’t piss in the tall grass, don’t run with the big dogs. I am hoping for it to warm up, but if it doesn’t I am going to throw another log on the fire and pour another glass of this.
