Solid. Dark fruit, aggressive oak tannins. Good with barbecue.

Cherry, cedar and cumin on the nose and palate, bright acidity, great with the pork tenderloin cassoulet, nice texture and fine tannins. Delish.

2009v. Solid wine. Needs a bit of airtime or decanterization to fully experience the cabotization of your palate. Bring on the noise!!!

Savory and smokey bacon. Syrah might be Humboldt's 2nd best crop.

Great weekday drinker. Only a slight hint of the olive meaty pepper qualities I love in a N Rhone.

Ahh, the Humboldt Gold. Really enjoyable domestic Syrah. Dark fruits present but not sweet or dominating. Tons of savory notes / light smoke. Medium body with plus finish. Fine tannins.
