If you haven't noticed @Rajat Parr has a thing for really effen good Syrah. No surprise his own follows suit. All the olive & herb, sans soufre and still crazy fresh. Bravo big time.
Also of note: The Company popup at Mina Test Kitchen is insanely good. Go.

Sweet and smoky Syrah. Santa Barbara written all over it. Needs to be served with a slight chill or can be oppressive.

Tbc...Good, just a touch of spritz and funk. Lovely graphite, bacon, plum, black cherry, black raspberry. With a great attack full of florals, some funky bacon, and all the fruits again

Had one that was flawed. This one was right back on track.

F*CK That's Delicious! Bravo @Rajat Parr wish I'd bought more than two. Would love to put 3-5yrs of bottle age on this one.
