Very good but didn’t blow me away like earlier vintages. Flavor profile and drinkability as a pop and pour wine are all there and worth the price - I’ve just grown to expect more from Synergy 65. — 2 days ago

Pretty good. Good fruit and balance with some acidity and not much tannin. — 5 months ago

Excellent pop and pour drinkability with bold and complex fruit and spice full bodied flavor. Enjoyed on a warm early spring evening on the patio. — 7 months ago

Excellent blend. Bright fruit notes from the Zinfandel balanced with the acidity of the Palomino and dryness of the Grenache. The complexity is awesome! — 2 days ago

Every year the pop and pour drinkability of this blend gets better! This year the blend is 60% Mourvedere 25% Grenache and 15% Syrah. My appreciation for the less common primary grape varietals has escalated by Monte de Oro’s wise blending and aging techniques. The nose is slightly shy. The palate is a pleasantly unique balanced combination of fruit and earthy components - with a touch of lingering spice. A near perfect balance of juicy acidity and soft tannins that makes this approachable for most. — 8 months ago

COVID year lockdown vintage. Much brighter and fruitier than earlier years. Can’t believe this is a 100% Merlot. Almost Zinfandel in density and slight rhubarb background notes. Lots of cinnamon and clove forming the structure behind dark cherries licorice and dark chocolate. The finish is long and surprisingly crisp. I like a wine that creates an adventure and although this is slightly sweeter than my usual - this is a fun adventure. — 3 months ago
