Black fruit jam, warm spice, lanolin and violet. Lots of vanilla oak. Very smooth and clean. Medium finish. Not typical Syrah. Grows into itself with time in the glass. #syrah #tinyhousetastinggroup

Insane aromatics and front palate. A little clipped on the finish though - only to be had with food.

I want to see more of this. ripe, but restrained. blackberries, pepper, a bit gamey, and reasonably priced to boot, this wine is a winner.

Seems quiet and wrapped up tonight, not as giving and effusive as prior bottles. Still, beautiful cool climate Syrah with blue and black fruit, olive tapenade and meaty undertones. I'd hold for a while before the next one...

Young. So young. Lots if good material here, but do not open for a few years. Rating is only because it's so not ready.
