Great acidity, red fruits and stems. Youthful. Seems like all those stem tannins would be pretty interesting in another 5+ years. Slightly elevated VA but it works. Excellent mid-palate; could use more on the front end. A thoughtful wine however.

A good wine, but a bit too sharp and bitter for my taste.

Rocky, living and breathing Syrah blend. A little va adds some interesting funk. Wish there was more of this stuff.

Super-luscious stone fruit and white pepper. A bit fuzzy outbid the bottle but calmed down after an hour.
