A blend of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier, aromas of berry fruits and beautiful floral scents with slight citrus notes. On the palate raspberry and cherry flavors with a sweet herb character. Tight tannins, great mouthfeel, lingering, ending with mineral character. Nice!

At a party these great wine whirl by too fast. It deserved more attention - fresh berry, spice and meaty.

Medium ruby color with garnet ring. Pronounced aromas of spices, herbs, blackberry, blueberry, ripe strawberry, raspberry, cream and vanilla. Developing. Acidity is medium, tanins are medium, silky and well-integrated into structure. Medium body, pronounced flavor of black pepper, ripe strawberries, blackberry, touch of vanilla. Long finish. Extremely fresh and elegant expression of Syrah, very good wine.

Excellent example from a small producer. Now is the right time to drink this: blackberry and white pepper are harmonious, tertiary sous bois flavors and a surprisingly fresh acidity keep the frame full. It's not a powerhouse but it's well-built.

Bacon and anise on the nose, decent fruit on the mid-palate, not a long finish, little black cherry at finish, good match with pesto lamb chops.

Nice red ripe berry fruit and delicious upon opening. Probably needs decanting, but I'm jumping in!
