Jul 21st, 2014Excellent. Highly structured but showing some fruit, with fine tannins, meat, chocolate, and a bit of herbs and flowers. Best CA syrah to date.

Similar to my previous bottle 2 yrs prior. Fruit holding up well. Less smoke / leather than I recalled.

Feb 13th, 2016Final bottle and damn was it great. Walks the fine line of dark brooding fruit, savage meatiness, spicy white pepper and earth. Proves you don't have to spend 100+ to get a great wine.
