Still pretty fresh for 10 years. Chunky and chalky. Baked blue fruit, spice is where it’s at. White pepper, black walnut, cinnamon. Coating finish but lacks in complexity like other vintages — 2 years ago

Big props to Girl and the Fig for excellent service including decanting this wine prior to our arrival.

A very extracted deep purple with no signs of Browning.

Relatively tame aromas of deep berry, baking spice, faint black pepper, juniper berry, menthol, red flower. Heady but not overtly alcoholic.

The palate is a different story. Explosive, much more tart, and red fruits. Pomegranate, cranberry, red cherries overlie the gamey, meaty, olive tapenade of Syrah. Dense, chewy, but not heavy or particularly hot. For 15.7% light on its feet. The tannins are never intrusive but provide needed structure along with surprising bright acidity. Finish just goes on and on.

An unforgettable wine that I am glad we got to experience. Not exactly my personal style but really complete and enjoyable. This wine also feels like it’s just hitting its stride. — 5 years ago

+2 hour decant(little cloudy sediment). An amazing dark ruby red color. On the nose: Intense notes of dark cherry and stewed plums, menthol, little smoked meat, nutmeg, and licorice. Taste: velvety, polished mouthcoating wine with blackberry/dark cherry, crushed stone, toasted wood, cloves, and a long brambly-peppery-licorice finish. YUM! — 2 months ago

Bought this at the winery several years ago during a trip to Napa wine country with my sister & brother-in-law. We’re all in Panama for the holidays. I brought several of the wines with us to share and relive our Napa experience. — 8 years ago

2012 vintage. 15.6 ABV but tasted like 14.7. Medium body. Decanted and tasted after 20 minutes and 2 hours. Slight amount of sed but not objectionable if poured into the proceedings. Mostly frontal fruit tasting with raspberry and strawberry flavors coming through predominantly. Relatively unexciting in the early going. Nice...but not exactly this year's girl. Tasting after two hours decanted...body upped to medium/medium-heavy body and a subtle cracked black peppercorn flourish all these promises of satisfaction. As with (nearly) all the wines from this producer, killed off at least a decade too early, likely two. Those disco synthesizers those daily tranquilizers...9.3.25. — 10 months ago
