As the Good Book says, return to your first love. The Pixie was one of my first loves of Washington syrah. And while I’ve invested in K, Reynvaan and Cayuse over time, this is still brilliant and enjoyable at 13-14 yrs. Forever smitten.

Deep Purple with garnet meniscus. High viscosity. Nose of plum and cherry with both smoked meats and gravel. Palate showed the same fruit, with the cherry being deep and a bit sour. Smoked meats also prominent on the palate. Great mouthfeel. Full-bodied and the tannins are still present, but not overwhelming in any way - balances with the Med+ acidity and shows both Med+ length and complexity. Very enjoyable at this point.

Smokey, earthy, funky...like the music I'm listening to. Dark berries, smooth and silky with great velvety tannins. Glad I have more of this. excellent bottle.

(Gorman Pixie Red Mountain) Lots of jammy fruit with seeds along with sage and baking chocolate. A richly textured, dry wine with lots of fruit and polished tannins. Occasionally comes off as a bit coarse and sharp toward the back end. These edges will smooth out with a bit more time in the bottle. 100% Syrah (50% Kiona, 50% Ciel du Cheval). 15.2% alcohol. 200 cases produced.
