Alturas Yorkville Highlands Syrah 2009

Inaugural vintage, was undrinkably tight on release, now still “young” but giving a bit of beautiful profile, if you look. — 11 days ago

Tierra Petite Sirah 2019

Should have let this age. Wine Enthusiast recommended opening in 2026, found the article after I’d already opened the bottle. I let it breathe for over an hour but still just intense booze and smoke aromas. — 8 months ago

Halcon Vineyard Yorkville Highlands Syrah 2018

Excellent immediately. Raspberries, cassis, light cherry, cigar box, black pepper, slight anise, and just a little vanilla. Heavily tannic and would go well with heavier meat. Medium-minus acidity. Didn’t evolve much in the decanter. — 3 years ago

The palate reminded me of a liqueur kind of medicinal and manufactured. — 2 months ago

This wine screams green olive! It was earthy and briney and had nice balance and acid. — 5 years ago

Wilde Farm

Halcon Vineyard Syrah 2017

This is quite youthful and seems on the natty side, but not too much so. Also seems like it was deliberately picked on the not-quite-ripe side. The nose is super-bright, with crunchy little purple mountain berries and pink peppercorns. A bit of cured beef too. In the mouth, the acids are through the roof, overriding some nice, crisp, dark berry flavors. There is a bare hint of barnyard funk too. Very nice length. Overall it’s got a lot of character but seems a little disjointed. Picking a tad riper may have made a better wine, but it wouldn’t have made a “statement,” which I think was what was primarily behind this wine. — 3 months ago
