The drink by date of 2012 is laughable, since drinking it in 2016 is infanticide. The fruit is vibrant, the color intense and the finish long and full of dark fruits, tobacco and toasted oak.

Great noise of black berries, plum, and black pepper. On the palate, dark fruit and spice, a little high in alcohol, but a long lasting syrah on the mouth. Alcohol is the reason this isn't a 90. Still enjoyable for the price.

Beautiful Cali Syrah, not over the top 'Aussie' style, powerful yet polished - Dark, full bodied with a nose of blackfruit, blueberry, pepper, plum and vanilla, very well structured and balanced, complex, sweet, velvety smooth on the palate with excellent length, delicious (90 Points).

lush dark color, powerful bouquet of crushed dark fruit, full bodied, rich, smooth texture, big, dark fruit, currants, black peppercorn, blackberries and chocolate, some burnt after tone on the finish, delicious

Black pepper with bold red fruit to the wine. A savory note to the wines. Drier than I would have thought. Much drier than I thought they would have dared to make. So the fruit is lower than the tannin and acidity -- you feel those more than the fruit. Very interesting.
