Bravo, Hank. One of the most cellar-able vintages of this wine. Broad shoulders, but lots of varietal intensity. Not as wild and exotic as the '11, but a lot of focus.

We've been lucky to have this wine quite a few times this year. It's still great, soulful stuff, but ever so delicious with NC BBQ tonight.

Blew me away. Beautiful, distinct Syrah character, red and blue, black olive, bright acidity and a savory side that kept me coming back.

Bright acidity, Rose petals, tart cherry, citrus, beef blood.. How I would imagine a great dry sangria would taste.. And I mean that in a good way...
