Little bit of earthy funk upon opening that evolves quickly to sous bois laced dark berry fruit, some mushroomy notes, quite hooking on the palate, firm acidity, graceful tannins, paired solidly with Quiche Lorraine. #stemiliongrandcru — 14 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). — 3 years ago

beautiful non-traditional sparkling wine - fresh and very lightly fruity. Just a really nice wine to drink with aperitifs or snacky dinner. — 9 months ago

Delicious summer rose. Orange salmon color with ripened raspberries and strawberries, plus a touch of citrus. Nose and palate are very similar. Good dry acids that are rather thirst quenching. Solid wine for under $20. — 8 months ago
