Bought from the winery almost 10 years ago. Surprisingly still fresh, dark fruit that did not fade or oxidize over 2 nights. The massive abv is kept in check with still present acidity. Not terribly nuanced or complex but well built and fun to drink.

This bottle showed a pretty good heft of richness, seen through some light raisin and dark fruit qualities, as well as some heat in the aromatic. It is for sure dark, big Paso syrah. I seemed to enjoy the taste of the wine more in my December 2014 TN. The group polished the bottle off.

The wine is till holding up. We had it for two nights (using the vacuum overnight) and it was good both nights. It still has some pepper, some violate (from the Viognier?) and enough tannins to control the nice dark fruit. Really quite excellent.

Well balanced dark & black fruit, tobacco and savory spice. Silky tannins and finish.

Not what I remembered from release. A bit over extracted.
