A pleasant surprise. One of the better CA Syrahs I’ve had. Everything is really in balance. Lots of intense red fruit, game, smoke complexity in a very elegant and long finish. Would definitely buy this again. — 8 days ago

Intense red cherry core with lingering finish- well integrated secondary- tertiary notes of forest floor. Tannins a little grippy. Enjoyable now. Could age another 5. — 2 months ago

9.4

Intense citrus (lemon, lime) stone fruit (unripe peach) and floral (blossom) with a chalky, mineral finish that is long on a razor’s edge, and a very slight oily texture that adds a subtle richness. Would love to see how this ages over the next ten years. — a month ago

Beautiful barbera- intense red and dark berry fruit edged with eccentric smoke, tar, and barnyard, and carried by lively acidity in a long finish funky finish. — 2 months ago
