Heading downhill. Dark red with fading at the rim. Pleasant, red-fruited nose. Cherries and blueberries on the palate. Bit hot (14.3% ABV). Soft tannins, decent acidity and balance. Finishes long and graceful but drying on the palate. I'd drink up.

PnP this 10 yr old Syrah. Dark black fruits, including plum and black cherry, with smoke, olive paste, and moist soil. Full in body, clocking in at 14.1% abv, with nice finely-grained tannins and fairly brisk acidity for a wine of this power. Delicious yet restrained, drink this wine now through 2022+.

Black cherry, earth, deep and dark, fully integrated tannins, little shot of brightness at the end... fantastic, delicious.

Delicious. Well balanced. Went well with food, and went great with our Seder.
