These wines are the most confounding wines I’ve ever had. Certainly singular but that’s about the best thing I can say about it.

Pours purple in color. ON THE NOSE: stewed jam, clove, anise and tar. ON THE PALATE: dark fruit, smoke, plum, and earth. Tannins are still here ten years later. Medium body medium finish.

So delish. Thank you Alex! This is meaty and herbal. jam berry. Hedonism at best.

High fidelity in all regards, this is vibrant in four lacy dimensions. For Syrah, it’s currently showing the side of sweet spices, smoked meats, olives, violets and mere hints of herbs. Little in the way of blood, earth, horse, or reductive qualities.

Rally nice tonight. Bacon fat, leather and black berries. This has a lot of the same characteristics as a classic northern Rhône. Pairing extremely well with the lamb.

Unbelievable. Very fruit forward for a Syrah, but well balanced. Supposedly named En Cerise because it tastes like cherries—appropriately if so.
