(Meyer Family Syrah) Inky garnet-purple in color, this wine has a beautifully perfumed nose of violets and luscious black-cherry fruit. Smooth and silky texture, with a lovely weight on the tongue. The primary flavors are a mélange of tobacco, chocolate, and black cherry; blackberry and cassis emerge with more air and time. All the flavors resonate with depth and feeling and coalesce into a substantial finish that, in my enthusiasm, I scribbled down as “epic” in my notebook. This is certainly one of the best Syrahs being made in Mendocino County, and probably the best I have had from the Yorkville Highlands. Hot Picks

Opaque blackish purple. Nose is oak, or should I say; OAK!!! Heavy sediment. Tasted after venturi and 1/2 hour air time. Strong tannins, oak, decent fruit and mid palate, moderate finish. Day 2 update, oak is moderating as expected. Somewhat syrupy mouthfeel. Not deteriorating markedly; smoother. Not sure this will ever get any better.

I bought this wine because I love Mendocino syrah, and my girflriend's last name is Meyer. Little did I know that this wine would kick serious ass. Vibrant, clear purple color in the glass. The nose shows bright cherries, fresh herbs and milk chocolate. What a wondrous nose. The palate starts off with root beer float and cherry coke, matched with grainy tannins, like dark coffee, and some creamy mocha on the finish. The flavors of this wine were pure and vibrant. This is a serious crowd-pleaser. 89+

Okay, but flat and nothing special. Maybe some spice notes but certainly lacks vibrancy. Needed to be bigger for our Christmas Eve meal.
