This wine has potential that never developed. I first tasted it three years ago. I still has an effervescent tingle on the tongue, which should have been corrected before it was bottled. Honeslty there are better syrahs comng out of Santa Ynez. It's overrated and over priced. Robert Parker made a mistake with this wine. It's not as good as the ratings give it.

Remembered enjoying this at the tasting room years ago and it does not disappoint now. Inky dark color. Hot, textured nose with berry aromas. Very savory flavors (bacon, meat) along with blueberry and herbs. Very good.

Very nice. Decanted for an hour. Had with home made pizza, cheese, sauce, tomatoes, zucchini and a little pepperoni. Went well with food. Vanilla on the nose, sour cherries on the mid pallet and a nice smooth finish.

Good, a little on the sweet side for a syrah.
