I don't guess there's much Grenache Blanc grown in SYV. Young and crisp with a perfect balance of minerality, acidity, and aromatics. This is a step up backyard pool pleaser. — a year ago
Visited this gem of a winery last year. 2021 brings 56% Syrah, 8% Grenache, 23% Mourvédre, and 12% Petite Sirah, with 8% whole cluster fruit in the blend. Not much nose, but you'll initially get some savory spices of fennel and thyme in the glass. As it evolves the complexity shines. Cassis, dark currants and a smokiness. Medium to full bodied. Make a point of visiting for a tasting. — 2 years ago

This is for the Noumenon Syrah. Thompson Vineyards. Only 51 case made. Dovecote needs some love on this site. Blue and red berry and baking spice aromas on the nose. The palate is loaded with florals and black raspberry with a peppercorn finish on the backend. Just an excellent Syrah. — 2 days ago
