Dunno which has shifted more, my palate or the winemaking here, but this is way less interesting to me than these wines used to be. Fine, correct and not over the top, but lacking in character.

Very nice Syrah, but over the top with oak which hides dark fruits and meats. Minerality from Ballard Canyon still present.
