2022 was Grenache/mataro and the two grapes balance each other out so nicely! Lush fruits while still mellow, soft tannins and bright acidity. Just a hint of sweet tobacco on the back. All day. — 2 years ago

So warm and inviting. It’s big and high alcohol but somehow not excessive at all. Wonderful texture. Warm spicy aromas, dark plum, cherry and cola. Very nice ! — 3 years ago

Super fun to drink this with some age on it. Went perfect with the turtle soup. Slight oxidation but the fruit is still alive and kickin. — 5 years ago

PERFECTION!
A beautiful split of 50% Syrah and 32% Graciano and 18% Grenache all from the James Berry Vineyard. This full-bodied wine was fermented with whole clusters and barrel aged for two years in 50% new French oak. Deep blackberry fruit, rich and layered flavors of cassis and licorice with a subtle background meatiness. Drinking nicely on release, yet will evolve gracefully for over a decade.

I was really interested to try this Ovid Syrah after a number of years, but it was a real disappointment. The nose and texture seemed to be there but it was fantastically muted. I feel like it needs a day out of the bottle so I’m going to try it again later today and see, but at first blush and after a couple hour decant, this wine did not come to the party - instead, it hid like a turtle in the shell. Since the takeover of the Vineyard, I’ve stopped taking most of my allocation. — 6 years ago
