Increased a point this time. Still big and burly but more ready to drink. Two hour slow ox. We like our wines big and burly, this one met those requirements.

Compared to my prior note I must say this was a scintillating experience. Black gold, Texas tea...those of a certain age will understand the reference. Deep, dark purple in color, almost impenetrable. Great aromatics of sandalwood, and rich fruit notes. This wine presented beautiful depth and stellar flavors throughout. Smooth and delicious without evident heat. It took me back up on top of moon mountain on that glorious day we tasted there. I loved this offering and highly recommend.

Fantastic wine drinking exceptionally well right now. Deep, dark and full of flavor. Goes great with BBQ and steak, or simply sipping on its own. Can't go wrong with this one now.

Rarely do I describe a wine as having meat characteristics, maybe some early Wren Hop offerings. This Syrah started our with this primary characteristic. Very savory in flavor and attack. I let the balance sit overnight and while it snoothed out a bit there was still an inky, savory quality. Absolutely no ripeness or fruit forward qualities, which is fine, but not what I necessarily remeber experiencing at the winery. However, I admit it would be hard to replicate the view, ambiance and experience on top of the mountain talking with Robert. I will reserve overall judgement as I crack open the beautiful Cabs that await me. This Syrah is solid and without flaws.
