Smoky in a tobacco and earthy way. Interesting winemaking although it hasn't seen enough aging yet to be intellectual. Ripe cranberry fruit and tannin with a lot of wood showing on the wine.

Fruity and ripe, but good depth and drive.

My first bottle from Drew. A very intriguing, intellectual wine. Tannic and one dimensional on day one...lots of cranberry. Day two brought violet and a very discernable sanguinity to the nose. The minerality holds through to the palate with the red fruit but there was some unpleasant oxidation. I would suggest a few years in the cellar or a one hour decent.

Red fruit, cola, spice, and minerals. Very fine tannins along vibrant acidity. Still plenty of life left in this bottle!

The flavors of this were a bit more toward leather and a nice mouthfeel.

2011. Good cork Nice dark cherry color on the pour. Initial mild taste. Good flavor, light for Syrah. Like it. Smooth on all aspects. Very slight tannins on the end. Like this winery.
