Lovely foothills Syrah in a German-glass finished (it’s the closure/cork), at 17 years old still shows massive fruit, I’d say it’s mature, but very long, lingering finish, most amazing to me (for those of you who know Hank) is that this wine is 14.9% ABV!?!? — 7 hours ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. No formal notes due to the setting however, looking back on my previous notes, that assessment still applies. The 2017 Amador County continues to be an absolutely delicious expression of the variety. Drink now through 2032.  — 9 days ago

Very nice, a little age has helped bring out some complexity. But the 14.5% weighs it down a bit — 3 months ago

Still on A-R Old-Gamay Gate. Similar weight to the 20, but more mid-palate fruit and less bitter. Menopausal. — 2 months ago

Lovely redfruits and low ABV (11.5%) crispness and freshness, very good balance and acidity, medium-long finish, very good foothills Mourvèdre! — 6 months ago
