Not much has changed since the last bottle about a year ago. Ripe and rich. Lots of varietal nuances. Still need some time.

Coming from one of the coolest AVAs in Northern CA, I was expecting a fresher version when I opened the first bottle. But that was not the case at all. This is a 2nd bottle, and Iarrived at the same conclusion. Rich and concentrated, but full of varietal characters. Has the structure to go another 8-10 years.
A keeper.

One of the richest Syrah I’ve tasted. Jammy like a ripe Merlot, but there are notes of bacon fat, black pepper and scent of violet that reminds you this is Syrah. Thick but not heavy, thanks to lively acidity. Very long candied finish.

Lovely color greets you as you pour then an excellent community lament to lamb follows. Makes the Easter feast more festive
