Yorkville Highlands Syrah
Yorkville Highlands, North Coast, California, USA
Fennel and deep red and blue fruit compote nose. Very fruit forward palate with loads of blueberries, blackberries, and currants with fine tannins. Very succulent and not a lot of nuance. Left this open overnight and it is a better wine the second day. Well-made, but not my style of Syrah. I have four bottles to give as gifts.

Very nice. Classic Syrah, lots of fruit but well balanced.

Gamey meat and fennel aromas give way to a medium bodied tannin profile with a slightly bitter sweet finish.

Who knows could’ve been good especially if you’re a fan of parsley (100% parsley on the nose). Last Bottle fail, probably best to not buy from them anymore especially the flash marathon sales.

This is still a horrible wine. It isn’t corked or oxidized, just awful. Could be some sort of a flaw but it’s beyond my knowledge to figure out. Threw out most of the bottle.

Right at PnP w soft red fruit and some pomegranate tartness and a hint of tobacco. After open a while the tobacco notes were more enhanced and the fruit became riper. Also some black pepper spice emerged towards the back. Nice layers.

May 3rd, 2020Really good dark red fruit and some earthiness. Lightly spicy as well. The oak definitely is apparent here towards the finish.

May 2nd, 2019I guess I bought more than 2 bottles as previously reported. Third try is still a big disappointment coming from this family. I won’t be making any more blind purchases of wine from this family. I think it is amazing that they would destroy their reputation by selling this quality of product. So sad...
