Still incredible. See my last review. Cork disintegrated again but this wine is truly bespoke.

Amazing. Tobacco, leather, oak, intense berries and smooth tannins from start to finish. Awesome expression of Syrah. Drinks more like a well aged Cote Rotie than a So Cal Rhône. I am checking to see if they have any in their library.

Held up reasonably well but it’s heyday was a few years ago. Still has tobacco, notes of blackberry, and chocolate but had lost the intensity I remember from earlier bottles.

Remarkably vibrant for a roughly 12-year-old syrah. Terrific cool climate components of earth, underbrush, along with a candied blackberry component. Excellent wine from the folks at Blair Fox!

Extremely concentrated fruit, jammy, mineral notes, and lingering finish. Another winner from Blair Fox. This is in a great drinking phase right now but will withstand additional cellaring.
