Can't wait to have this again in a few years but well worth drinking now. Tight low bush alpine fruit and leaf nose, w focused alpine low bush leaf and bramble w wild berry palate. Blue cool fruit. Juicy stimulation w a full mouth drying grab. Good integrated structure. A wine for pleasure and for drinking. Thank god for Syrah in Willamette Valley.

Biggest flavor of cracked black pepper I have ever experienced in wine. Super smooth and it was paired well with tuna as well as beef.

Great wine. Lots of taste but doesn't have that "punch." Kind of like a Malbec. Also described as smoky. Smoky isn't something I would read and go for, but this was great.
