Bright fruit on the nose. On the palate, blackberry, pepper, dark cherry. Bold with good tannins and above average acidity. Complex and beautiful. Smooth finish. — 11 days ago

For planning purposes of something in the future, I tasted 2014 central coast Syrahs from high end producers blind. Along with the Lillian (my bottle), there was SQN, Andremily, Torrin Akasha, Booker Fracture, Alban Reva and Alban Lorraine.

First off, I love these wines. The price in comparison to the others is impressive, and it always delivers. I double decanted this about two hours prior to the blind tasting. Dark purple in the glass, with aromatics of both sweet oak as well as whole cluster stem inclusion. Loads of dark floral notes, ripe blackberries, cherry jerky and that kiss of sweet oak. The palate remained the same from opening through the end of the blind tasting…a distinctly fuzzy profile on the palate with gorgeous mid palate depth and richness of blue and black fruits with plenty of herbal flair and spice. It toes the line between cool climate Syrah with their signature black peppercorn and iron, as well as big central coast Rhône style with its rich and textural palate. No rush on opening, but it sure is great now.

Out of the 7 in the lineup, this was the “cheapest”, and tied for 3rd place (with the Andremily being the runaway favorite, Alban Lorraine taking second, and this tying the SQN). — 5 years ago

This is a deep Syrah, dark chocolate, dark berries, and damn good with some braised beef. Need to buy some more pronto. — 6 years ago

9.1

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Strong nose of black fruits with cedar, light vanilla, licorice, chocolates, spices and black pepper.

Full bodied and soft with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, light vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth and peppercorn.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 7 year old red blend from San Luis Obispo in California is drinking very nicely now. Elegant and nicely balanced. Rich, extracted and fruit forward. Complex and interesting.

Will continue to drink nicely in the next few years, but will not get better from this point.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after a few hours of airtime.

Wine Advocate 94 points. Wine Enthusiasts 91 points.

A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, 10% Petite Sirah, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot and 10% Malbec. Aged for 18 months in (60% new) French Oak barrels.

14.3% alcohol by volume.

My first extended barrel age bottle from Booker to try. I tried this at pop, then about 4hrs later, and saved a glass for the next day. This was pretty open at pop but seemed to be best after it had been open a few hours (didn’t notice any sort of improvement/decline the next day). The aromatics here were floral (red and purple flowers/potpourri), baking spices (cinnamon) and fondue dipped cherries. It is deceptively dense while sporting a unique elegance about it. Kirsch liqueur, spicy rhubarb, and grilled plum are accompanied by sandalwood to round out the finish. I enjoy more use of whole clusters in these type of wines, but this is pretty delicious for the style. — 6 years ago
