Drinking in 2025... really bright and lovely. Could not tell it had aged at all. Bright green apple and just a touch of butter. β 9 months ago

On a day that the Northern CA rain reminds me of the weather on the day I bought this at the tasting room in OR, I decided to pop this one and see how it stacks up. Simple elegance with the label. Color is red/maroon instead of ink or blood purple. Smells a bit like a berry-cherry tart in a campfire. Matchsticks. Flavors are spectacular. Fruit coupled with savory strange stuff. Minerals. Like lots of them. Flinty. Bittersweet in the best kind of way. Hint of mocha. Complex to say the least. This is a lovely wine. Less tannic and dense than WA or CA Syrah, but bright and strange like the best Syrahβs from France. Almost seems like a GSM blend. Elements of great Grenache in there too. Nice stuff. β 6 months ago
