Clos Saron
Heart of Stone Sierra Foothills Syrah
Sierra Foothills, California, USA
Amazing. Almost as awesome as the 2006. Somehow funk / fresh / and mature at the same time with deft balance between savory, fruit, acid, and smooth tannic structure. Unlike the 2006, this started to fade a few hours in where the 06 kept on going.

Just an amazing expression of Terroir, totally naked and brilliantly balanced, including dusty tannins and dito minerality, Syrah spice and a meat stock infused finish. Note to Self - Clos Saron rules!

Way out in left field for the first 3-4 hours after decanting, then dropped into a beautiful forest floor packed with dense fruit. If you aren't giving Gideon's older reds a chance to really breathe you do everyone a disservice, and this wine only reaffirmed that for me.

An absolutely beautiful Syrah--tannins still going strong, acid singing. Spice abounds!

Jan 24th, 2015VA off the charts, but then that receded to show wet oak leaves after ~3 hours in the decanter. Then mushrooms, and finally a glorious blend of forest floor, bright acidity and cola fruit. A roller coaster to be sure, but patience and air are definitely required. Thank you for this, @John Donaghue !
