Really nice fruit but I would not have picked Washington. Very fruit forward with a lack of structure on the finish

Not sure what folks missing, but this is surely >9.0 Syrah. First summer evening on the deck; perfect sunset, great wine, U2 radio; life is good!! Bravo Chris, will definitely stock up on this vino!! It will age very well.

Really colorful and lovely wine. I paired it with mussels fra diavolo and it complimented the dish in every way possible. Vibrant and exciting, drink this on its own or pair with something spicy.

Delicious Syrah. Dark currants and black cherries with a hint of black pepper and a kiss of mocha on the finish.

Really nicely balanced, lots of violet, plum, leather and dust, reminiscent of a Tuscan red. Then as it opens, I tasted more and more dried fruit. Wish it finished stronger. I think this wine would be dynamite in a few years.
