Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2012 Zayante Vineyard Syrah pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with significant staining of the tears and signs of fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and slightly desiccated black and blue fruits: blackberries, fig, dried purple flowers, roasted game, some black pepper, some olive, leather, old wood and a balanced combination of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. This is a very lovely Cali Syrah that has some Rhône sensibilities. Drink now through 2032. — 9 days ago

I don’t appreciate buttery and oaky Chardonnay. This excellent Chardonnay has reduced the traditional characters and highlights
notes of honeysuckle,apple and Meyer lemon. Flavors of sickle pear, citrus and a dash of salt. A subtle blend of mineral and acidity. Excellent pairing with Thanksgiving. — 4 years ago

Medium ruby , wide quite light garnet ruby rim . This has quite closed at first , with ripe raspberry , spiced red cherry , strawberry, touch of spice also. On the palate this is quite fresh and vivid, raspberry , red currant , wild strawberry , touch of spice. Quite high acidity and lightly grippy tannins . Light red fruited finish , of pretty good medium length . Still pretty young , and quite well defined and detailed, vivid, even though there is a bit more oak spice noticable than the Pommard tasted yesterday. With time this is drinking well now but will last well a further 5-10 . — 9 months ago
