Ripe, Primary. Not very descriptive. Overripe NoCal Syrah is definitely not my jam. More for the other fellas. A well made wine but not my style and I’d never buy it.

Heavily oaked fruit bomb at this stage. Too young, but not sure how this will evolve as the alcohol is quite prominent.

A beauty. Couldn't be happier for making the decision to jump on this list immediately. Smoked meat, leather; black cherry blackberry. Deepest purple you could imagine. Finest 2012 so far. Deserved more decant. In love.

This wine is insane.

Day 1: double decanted for 8hrs and poured off two glasses at the end of the night (didn’t actually have any because I was too drunk, NYE)

Day 2: spent the day in the fridge and we finally got to try. Huge wine but super fresh. Just layers and layers of velvety fruit and smoked meats.

Day 3: spent another day in the fridge with only a glass remaining and this badass was still getting better.

Obviously it needs time but wow!
