2021. Syrah is one of my go to wines for lamb and this bottle is drinking great! Subtle meaty and smoky aromas, dark berry flavors, and smooth tannins. — a month ago

Very nice, but had even higher expectations, perhaps unfairly. 2016 vintage — 4 years ago

Elegant label. Dark maroon color. Smells of tart red berries. Taste is austere and exacting. It’s a strange and unique Zin. Really, really good cranberry sauce/relish. And complex. Cedar box and tart pie cherry with cheese in a danish. It’s worthy of a long deconstruct with a fellow Zin appreciator. — 5 years ago

Very tasty Syrah from the Dry Creek Valley - and old vines to boot!  Red volcanic soil and high elevation drives acidity and structure.  — 3 years ago

Dark jam with vegetable component almost parsley, I like this but it is pretty unique. I also get yellow curry. Overall there’s still a bunch of different berry jam flavors with this underlying tannin structure that brings some unique flavors. Interesting… — 3 years ago

After the 8 days, this seemed like a lightweight. Not in bad way, just a little more nuanced. Solid. — 5 years ago

All the essentials. Hope these monks blessed the devil out of this! Gorgeous auburn brown that looks as rich as fresh tilled, valley loam. This head don’t quit! Cappuccino foam with variations. Sheeted micro-weave of bubbles in the lacing that part like thick lips, as if to say, ‘ahhh.’ A touch of baked marshmallow-on-yam. Coffee rye, barley grist, malt and grilled meat interplay, twice baked potatoes with bacon, sour cream and chives. Caramel drizzle. Dark honey glazed sourdough toast. Blood orange squeezed onto fondue, baked, mushroom stuffed persimmon. Heady, rustic, decadent nose invites us to a feast. Intense finesse! So multi-layered they had to fold it into the bottle! There is a cognac barrel aspect that has a cedar and oregano intertwined in an aged balsamic depth. Bark-y and chicory but also resembling petite verdot in its unctuous and integral core. Cherrywood and rich, dark maduro tobacco. The list could literally go on forever.
