Big, bold and your face kind of wine. It has mellowed gently since release but it's still centered around abundant fruit and lofty oak treatment. Well made and it definitely deserves a high score. Glad I dropped the list, though.

Dense, meaty, sweet oak. A lot and a lot of fun.

Out of magnum. A bit monolithic for my taste but good.

Always a great wine to drink! Toes the line between exuberance and elegance now that it has 9 years of life

Great, complex syrah. Chocolate n tobacco n sloeberries n a little leather. Heavy yet very complex. A great syrah.

Great wine...Smoky on the nose with olive and leather on the palate. The finish is smooth with absolutely no rough edges. It’s in a great place right now but could go a few more years. This wine is consistently good.

Donated to the ladies for a steak dinner. Got a remnant glass on day 2. Very good.

Not a huge US Syrah fan, but I always love this wine.
