Nose is a little earthy, slight barnyard notes, vague dark fruits. Palate is a bit nicer, round and smooth with cranberry, dark cherries, cola, maybe a hint of white pepper. Very primary, still plenty of fine tannins. There’s nothing wrong with the wine, it tastes nice but it just doesn’t excite me.

Significantly better than prior bottle. Root beer note, herbaceous, reasonably good acid. Still something oddly thin and insubstantial about this wine.

Drinkable but has a thin and stemmy character. Herbal nose. No mouthfeel to speak of. Unbalanced. I don't see much to suspect this will improve with more age.

Nice cool climate syrah aromatics, a bit floral, some olive, brine. similar flavors on the palate, a bit lean and light though, and still youthful.
