Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2022

2022 vintage. Steady Crozes-Hermitage performer. Medium-heavy bod. Two years+ should find this firing. 06.11.25. — 18 days ago

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2012

Been hanging on to this for 12 years; yikes. From Jason at Solano Cellars. At La Posta in Santa Cruz. Not quite past it yet! But waiting for the character. Tight on nose, not too past it lacking perspective so far. — 14 days ago

L'Hermitage Syrah 1990

Ooh. Super fresh. Dark tangy fruit with a slightly medicinal edge. Plum and iodine. Dried herbs and a bloody, feral intensity. Amazing — 3 days ago

La Landonne Côte-Rotie Syrah 2001

2001: so silky! A wine that has so much complexity and the smoky meatiness and mint was so intriguing! Just wow! — 7 days ago

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2013

2013 vintage. Sweet fill and cork. Trashy label. Slightly less sed than expected. Big nose on the decant. Tasted after 1 hour open and 5 hours open. Medium heavy body. Roasted nuts, earth, plummy fruit and grilled beef nose and flavors. Finishing palate added a finely ground black pepper note. Consistent throughout and absolutely delicious. 05.23.25. — a month ago
