50 40 10 CS Syrah and pv will be bottled next August Stillwater creek vineyard a good amount of fresh limy earth mocha and tobacco spice to the currant and plum fruit. A very forward and fruit driven wine on the tongue ripe round tannins and that earth from the nose along with pretty floral notes through the finish. Finish 50+ most excellent

Agree w @David Shaw notes from 2018. Beautiful nose. Big bold wine. Really nice blend. I’d prefer this in another 5 years I think. Will keep checking on it.

Beautiful Syrah-dominant red blend from WA. Lots of ripe dark fruit but followed by multiple layers and depth. Beautifully made. Syrah 42/cab sauv 29/petit Verdot 29. The PV is evident in the body and deep fruit structure. Drinking deliciously now, but would likely be even better w some age.

Too young? Weak and fruity. Liked Ursa blend a lot so thought we'd give this a try but it fell well short of our expectations.
