Super tannic and long finish. Dark color, so much oak it has to be decanted — 3 months ago

Right in its prime. I will wait until the next is 10 years from vintage just out of principle. — 4 months ago

1hr+ decant. Dark purple color. Nose of burnt caramel and dark fruit. Almost port like. Same on the palate but refined with tea elements and subtle spice. Medium plus depth and long finish. Love Paul Hobbs and this is great, but not quite my style. — a year ago

Did not know Stagecoach also grows Syrah until I saw this bottle. Turns out quite a few reputable wineries such as Venge and B Cellars also make Syrah from Thai famed vineyard.
Still quite primary with scrumptious mix of black and blue fruits. Very good depth and concentration. Balanced acidity. Full and silky smooth.
The winery’s Bien Nacido Syrah is also very good, but this seems to be a slightly better. Would be fun to do a side-by-side. — 4 months ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Nice nose of chocolates, cedar, licorice, spices and peppercorn.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity. Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Showing red and black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, earth, tobacco, spices, peppercorn, coffee, light cola and chocolates.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This 9 year old Merlot is drinking beautifully now, and the great 2014 vintage is showing very well.

Feels like a Right Bank Bordeaux right out of the bottle, but after 3 hours of airtime it feels like a Napa Cabernet.

This Single Vineyard is showing nice complexity with nice balance, and will continue to age nicely in the 10 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.
