Funky gamey meaty Syrah nose mixed in with violets. White and black pepper mixed in with cigar box on the palate. Great food wine.

This is no slouch. Manages not to fatigue the palette compared to most 'crowd pleaser' wine.

Light, fruity, quaffable Pizza wine and a decent QPR (at $6.99).
I doubt this will improve in bottle (like the 2012) so drink up in the next 12+ months.

Consistent tasting notes. Surprisingly still going strong and still full of game. One of the best buys on the market.

Sweet and light on the tongue. Good sipping on its own, or with a sharp cheese

Notes say we enjoyed this with roast pork. Took a minute to open up but was solid once it did.

Wow - impressed that this is TJ's! Not a "meaty" GSM but definitely has the dry sour cherry and hint of pepper and strong tannins to hold it together. Very very drinkable!

Smells like earth, cherry, and mild smoke. Tastes like slate and cherry with medium tannins.
