This wine is aging beautifully. Color just starting to brick at the outer rim. Laid-back nose shows warm, smoky gravel, smoked meat, rich plummy berry fruit, braised collard greens. Subtle and showing secondary flavors in the mouth, some fruit but mostly stoney, minerally notes. Soft texture, with acidity still keeping this fresh. Only 13.7%. Delicious. — 6 months ago

Nice - not overly jammy, and with a distinct taste of orange peel. — 2 months ago
Complex nose shows ash pit, orchid, a cigar-box/roasted asparagus amalgam, olive, and cured beef. There’s also some oozy berry fruit. So soft on the palate. A lighter style, with completely resolved tannins and really nice acids. Not a blockbuster but very elegant. Drink now. — 4 months ago
Smooth Syrah at a great price, would definitely buy again! — 5 months ago
Have had lucky with Rosé lately, and this continues the streak.
Raspberry, pink grapefruit, strawberry, apricot, melon…. Fruit galore! Chalky minerals and light herbs as well. Very structured on the palate with good texture, racy acidity, and hint of tannins.
50% Cinsault, 26% Grenache and 24% Syrah from dedicated blocks of the vineyard. — 2 years ago

Solid Washington State Cab. (Actually mostly Cabernet Sauvignon (84%). There is some Merlot (15%) and Petite Verdot (1%) blended in). Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of cherry, blackberry, black raspberry, rose petals and exotic spices. Same collection of fruits on the palate with additional notes of dark chocolate, fresh herbs, coffee and toasted oak. Nice hint of vanilla on the medium-plus finish. Well balanced, good acidity level and a bit lean and lighter bodied than many Cabs. (Refreshing change) Noticeable alcohol. With more bottle age, this wine should be even better. Thanks for sharing this one, Keith S! — 19 days ago
