Not Y Block, but quite nice with chicken and asparagus then trout and tomato salad. Balanced between fruit and oak with a lovely finish.

Expected more but still enjoyable black fruit and leathery Syrah. Fairly smooth and opened up over time. — 4 years ago

Still very much alive and quite enjoyable. Straw yellow in the glass. Nose of apricots, ripe pears and butterscotch. Nice acidity brings this one fully into balance. Would be fun to have a couple more bottles just to see how long it could go… — 5 years ago

Wow. This was an absolutely stunning btl of Syrah. On the nose: violets, olive brine, bacon, soft vanilla cream, blackberry, dried blackberry, soft leather...amazing complexity. On the palate: fantastic acidity and density, pure syrah fruit, and very soft tannin on the finish. — 5 years ago

Stunning, raspberry, leather, and white pepper more reminiscent of Cote Rotie than California. Great depth, I’m crushed that this is my last bottle. — 8 months ago

Color still very youthful. Nose is somewhat sultry, even with significant air. Lots of smoky gravel, juniper berry, tart dark berry, sweat, dark liquid minerals, dried irises. Focused and more berry-centric in the mouth, concentrated, with a long fragrant finish. A small note of alcoholic pepperiness accompanies some some remains tannin. Lots of unique character. — 5 years ago

As someone who hasn’t had a lot of California syrahs, this struck me as well balanced and built for long life. At 13% abv not at all opulent. That said, a lot bigger more aggressive dark and brooding than I would have expected, especially 8 years in. Black olive tapenade, dark chocolate, espresso, black tea, black plum, dark fruits, black pepper. Underlying hints of smoke and maybe even a floral note. Has an attractive spicyness and pepper flavor to it and finishes with both pepper spice and chewy tannins that still feel quite young. Acidity really nice, but still overwhelmed by that chewy tannin mouthfeel. Not sure if this has yet to uncoil or maybe never will. It’s delicious as is, it is there more? Hope to find out! — 7 years ago

Don’t drink this too cold, a lot more flavour when it gets a bit warmer. — 8 years ago
