Still quite young but opened up beautifully in the glass. Wonderful aromatics and still drinking closer to Northern Rhone than west coast!

More of an olive note came through. Blackberry came through after about an hour. Fun to watch a wine evolve, different from the previous 2 times I have had.

Not a typical California Syrah, more elegance instead of power... with plenty of spice for syrah lovers.

I don't think I have ever had a Syrah that was under 12%. This was amazing, soft red fruits followed by tannin and cracked black pepper. This will be a beautiful wine in a few years.

Different from when I had this about 2 years ago. The wine seems closed up. Did notice a difference on day 2. Have one more bottle left, will leave it alone for a bit. Cracked pepper, tea, blackberry, more Northern Rhône like.
