I really like anything that Arnot Roberts makes apparently. Light weight, low alcohol Syrah, with plenty of flavor. Notes of plum, black pepper and herbs. Some pleasant green notes too. — 8 days ago

Very ripe Syrah with deep black fruit. Subtle savory notes of olive and soy sauce with a peppery finish. I’m a big fan of Phelps cabs and merlots but I think that the Syrah is lacking acidity for me. — a month ago

Classically styled Barolo. Very young but still very approachable. Tar and black cherry. Medium bodied. — a month ago

Wonderful Santa Barbara Syrah. Deep purple colo, medium to full bodied. On the nose and the palate it has a delicious funk to it with black fruit and fine tannins. — 12 days ago

Very light in color, almost like a young Pinot Noir. This is a very reserved and elegant Barolo, with fine tannins and subtle flavors of cherries and tar. — 24 days ago

Very young Syrah. Will benefit greatly from 2-3 more years in the bottle. Some black and blue fruit, savory beefy notes, tannic and with a looong finish. — a month ago

Sorry to say, pretty awful. Sweet Litchi on the nose but vegetal flavors that fall flat right away. — 2 months ago

Very hard wine to describe and define. There are so many things going on here. First of all 17.14% alcohol. Whoa. You can definitely smell the alcohol and it gives the wine an almost port-like consistency. On the nose it has a barnyard mustiness. On the palate there’s stewed and candied fruit. This is a complex and unusual wine I’m not sure that I’d want to drink this all the time but it’s worth a try. — 16 days ago

Smoke and cherries. Unfortunately not really balanced and overly tart. This needs a few years. — a month ago
