Rained during harvest so it lost some concentration. Blackberries, raspberries, some blueberries, hard dark minerals, leather, a little woody. Needs another 5-7 years.

Very dense and dark. You can feel the fine grain tannins on entry. Flint and purple fruit. Showed well in superb company.

A blast of pepper, plum and meat roasting over a campfire in the first hour. After being open for 10 hours, it blossomed into a very pretty, floral, gracious Syrah with amazing silky texture. Just turning the corner into early maturity, this one can go for a while yet.

Young, very young, but shows great structure with focused acidity. Needs time to show its true colors.
