9.5

Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of black plum, blackberries, and leather; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of strawberries, blackberry jam, and crushed gravel with a long finish. This wine is balanced (the alcohol is well integrated. I did not taste how high it is), intense, and complex. Overall, I rate this wine as outstanding. Nellie likes it, too. — 9 days ago

Parker gave it a 94- was expecting it to drink like a 92-93- it drank like a 91-92.

9.4

Ruby color, purple edges, with aromas of ripe fruits, floral and complex spice, aged for 16 months on French oak, 58% new, vineyard planted in 1991. On the palate concentrated flavors of strawberry and black cherry with orange citrus, herbs, vanilla and oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, rich long finish, ending with fruit, vanilla, floral, spice and oaky tones. Very Nice! Will age! — 7 months ago

Nothing about this says Syrah, an overripe Pinot maybe. — 4 months ago

Inaugural vintage, was undrinkably tight on release, now still “young” but giving a bit of beautiful profile, if you look. — 10 months ago

Perfumed fresh Syrah with grilled steak ($20) Wonderful fragrance and mouth feel, surprised by the alcohol content of 12.5% , thought it was higher — 3 years ago
