Young, but so incredibly good now if but mostly primary. That will easily hit 100 points once it gets of age.

Off the charts good, textbook classic Syrah made in a clean and almost too perfect way. Where are the faults? Kidding aside this is about as good as anything I have had from St. Jo from Gonon or anyone else. All the classic notes of black pepper, roasted meats, bacon fat, olive, the hole package...the nose is very pronounced and the palate has freshness to the generosity, a super long finish and a very fun and enjoyable bottle!

Plum, blackberry, umami and spice all prevent, so much depth and length but so young. Hold for a long while and come back. Will be delicious.

A warm ripe year, but exhibits classic balance, depth, and layering. Looking forward to seeing how this vineyard progresses.

More open than expected. Dark Raspberry and cherry, plenty of spice and some olive. Tasty.
