Tar, wild blackberry and brine. Intense without being overblown.

Roasted purple flowers and berries... sprinkled with pepper. Very enjoyable now with a bit of air.

Syrah the hidden gem. Blackberry, earthy. Real nice. Glad I'm involved.

This wine makes syrah fun again. Lots of soil and leather, but really bright fruit and cocoa.

Nice Syrah with a bit of the funk factor that I have recently been seeking out. Will have to have next to a couple Walla Walla Syrahs.

Possibly my first California Syrah. But it drinks like Shiraz!! Deep dark ripe fruit. Leather, musk and ripe tart fig. Soothing finish.
