Inky dark color. Tomato leaf, coffee, and mint on the nose. More pyrazine notes on the palate along with cocoa, cranberry, leather, black pepper, molasses, raisins, coffee, tobacco, and dark cherry. High acid, high alcohol, medium plus tannins, medium plus body, and long finish. Despite all the tertiary notes, drinks vibrant and fresh. Drink now or hold. — a month ago

This wine was remarkable in all aspects, although I personally liked the standard 2013 as much or more. Sam said that this was mostly Dr Crane fruit, and for me the intensity was heightened across the board. I liked the standard 2013 MM just a little more! — 9 years ago

It has been 2 weeks and I can still taste this wine. One of my all time favorite Syrahs. Between their Folly and Purple Angel, Montes' has moved towards the top of my favorite vintner list. Thanks for the treat Doc L — 10 years ago

Violet, black cherry, tar and granite notes on the palate with sticky jammy texture that lingers for a while. Always nice with nice roast of lamb. Cheers. — 5 years ago

The final bottle of the case. This wine is now darker and smokier on the nose with less of the blue fruit and more of the stewed black fruits. The palate still has wonderful acidity but is far less lush. Flavors of wet earth mingle with darker stewed plum and blackberries and lead to a bit of a shorter finish that shows a touch more puckering acidity. — 7 years ago
