2023 vintage. From Coravin. Syrah for Cabernet drinkers. Massive, smooth body and currently without any of the quirky, bretty Syrah flavors that can pull a full frontal assault on the palate. Delicious. Would love to taste in a decade to see what weightiness has left the building and how it has been replaced by the wine nature abhors a vacuum flavors. 10.23.24. — a month ago

Crunchy, meaty, red cherries and a lithe texture. Yum! — 5 months ago
Still dark purple color, richer and riper than the 2007 Turner, dark fruits, still showing pretty tannic structure, long finish, very good, but I prefer the freshness (better acidity, lower ABV (by 1%)) of the Turner, should improve another 3-5 years, or more. — a month ago

Aromas of bluefruits and earthy, mineral notes, similar flavors, like the 2009, this also shows lower ABV (13.4%), faint green bean/green olive note as well, both of these are close to showing as from the northern Rhône, really excellent Santa Rita Hills Syrah!! — 2 days ago
