Tannins, acid, and fruit never came together in a dance... felt rigid. Had this alongside Melville and Holus Bolus, which were more enjoyable now. Am I missing something with the v97 rating??!?

Nice quality/price ratio. Dark squid-ink purple. 13.1 ABV... not a hint of jammy, sweet, over-the-top-richness. Pleasant mid-weight dinner companion. Good not great. Nice acid/fruit balance...lots of blackberry/blueberry/cherry hints.

A really pretty syrah. Very light translucent red with crisp red fruits. Strawberry, cranberry, and rose petal. A huge runway for development here, would love to try this again in 5yrs.

Black pepper. Ripe blackberries, black cherries, and blueberries. Eucalyptus, anise, dried purple flowers, some neutral oak influence. Medium plus acidity, elevated to high tannin, medium plus body. High concentration and staining.

The feral whiff of wild yeasts. Hard candy interpretations of blueberry, elderberry, and cassis. Charred meat and smoke. A hard grip of acid. Distinctly cold climate Sonoma Syrah.
