Second bottle of this is as delicious as, maybe more than, the one I had about a year ago. (See my previous notes if interested.) Perhaps less fruity and more savory, minerally, resolved now. Excellent wine.

A Gary Larson cartoon comes to mind: Where smoked meat comes from - showing a cigarette smoking cow behind a barn.
This type of flavor from a good Rhone Syrah used to be common. Smelling this in a Wash state wine is amazing. Needs to be cellar temp for sure - lovely compote, blackberry nectar, a necco wafer, light tannin, yet mouth filling sweet tart acidity.
Reminds me of those old school wines of yore.

May 7th, 2023This is a very soft and sultry blend of 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache. The nose has dark, ripe berry ooze, fire pit embers, a low-toned floral element, and some sweet spice. In the mouth it’s super soft, mouthfilling, and has flavors of rich dark berries that transition to savory, roasted elements. Lengthy finish has exceedingly soft, almost caressing tannins. Soft acids. Very very good for near term drinking.
