I really liked the 2010s - drinking the 11s now - wait to next year to drink 12s- it is a nice toasty rich lush Syrah - decanted 2 hours - deep red color- smells are of blackberries, plums, vanilla, and spices - this is so fruit forward with nice tannins and hardly much acidity - this baby has great legs - Enjoying a Sunday Father's Day smile - come on Dustin Johnson - win the open please and get the monkey off your back

Lotsa oak, lotsa fruit. Good with marinated flank steak but nothing I would come back to....

God, this is just awful. Weird sugary flavors that suck. Not enjoyable.

Smooth with taste of vanilla, blueberry, smoke, bacon, clove, currant. Medium + body and 15%. Great wine to try. Need to try with BBQ.

Found this in Richard Reisman's wine storage. Since it's not a cab, he won't drink it. Levon and I reaped the benefits!

Blackberries, blueberries, nutmeg, & molasses both on the nose and in the mouth. Plus, flavors that hint of wet black dirt, fennel, & smoked meat. High ABV, but well-balanced and full-bodied so it sneaks up in you. All-around yummy!
