Wow! Has a lot left in this one. Pepper, game, herbs, plums, herbal raspberry jam, just keeps going. There’s a nice freshness to it as it lingers. Almost mint and berries. Just outstanding. Not your average CA syrah! — 2 days ago

So much flavor. Explosion of fruit but also some spice and curry. It tastes like st Rita hills Pinot. Such a classic flavor for me. Cherries, strawberry, baking spice, spearmint, earthy flavors. Maybe the curry I smell. Good acidity. Such a crowd pleaser but also complex to make me happy. — 20 days ago

Tasted very good. Pretty good amount of fruit. Lighter bodied. Good amount of alcohol. Surprisingly not a lot of dried fruit or jam notes. More fresh fruit and some nuts. — 3 days ago

Such a good wine. One of the best in CA. Love the herbs and lighter bodied nature of this one. Cedar, purple fruits, herbs, so fresh but also such good fruit. — 20 days ago

A little overrated. Great stuff with remarkable authenticity and rusticity. It goes places Napa/Sonoma generally doesn’t.

This was really funky on opening and then blew some of that off to have a brawny wine with good fruit and tannin. Some earth and herbs. Dark fruits. Really liked it. — 3 days ago

Definitely central coast. Mint, baking spices, mixed berries, some flowers. I really like this but not as silky smooth as some others from this winery. Not sure if this is due to growing season or just different vineyards. Look forward to trying more — 22 days ago
