Horseshoe Vineyard Syrah 2013

Wholecluster aromatic is a dead ringer for Gonon Iles Feray. Not as fresh on the palate as desired. Extremely stylish although not with enough delicious character. — 5 years ago

This was a fantastic Syrah. The nose is all green olives and BlackBerry and violets. The wine is fairly light bodied for a fully ripe Syrah, and it fronts fruit over pepper. But in a lovely way; there's no mistaking that this is Syrah. Still, it's lightness and relative lack of midpalate density makes me wish it was just a tiny bit cheaper. Runs probably close to 40 retail. Comparable to Gonon Iles Feray. — 13 years ago

helped make that wine. do remember that '10 was especially cool. Also, TVR vineyard is at altitude and on Russian River proper. BTW-we met in 2011, Bangkok.

Has it already been 2 years? Time passes so fast. Very cool that you worked there. The wine turned out great.

Sonoma-Hillsides Syrah 2016

Corkage at Wu’s wonton. Bright purple. Floral violet aromatics with a bit of cracked pepper. I was as impressed as the first time I drank it. Pulled away from gonon les iles feray (split decision) by end of night but they are two v high quality and v high qpr Syrah. — 8 years ago

Um ano mais e estaria perfeito. Secura ideal e o tradicional gosto de abacaxi maduro. No restaurante onde estou, serviram muito gelado. Um pouco mais fresco libera mais os aromas minerais. — 10 years ago
