This is a delicious 15 year old Syrah from Napa Valley. Elegant and robust. Rich and extracted.
Showing nice complexity at this point, and needs a couple of hours to open up properly.
A great sipping wine, that will also pair nicely with food.
A blend of 80% Syrah, 17% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. 1,000 cases produced.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.

Pretty great. I feel like it could use more time in bottle. A couple hours of air and it was cherries, dust, strawberries, white pepper, a hint of jalapeño, maybe red apple with baking spice. So lovely. — 14 hours ago
