Needed a big wine to help numb things prior to tonight's debate. This is working perfectly. Silky tannins, dark fruit and dried herbs on the finish.

Syrah is the dominant force in this blend. Nice wine, my favorite of the Enkidu label. 🍷

Probably much better with food, but still a good sipper on a cold night. Tannins have smoothed and acids are bouncing in a pleasant way. Dark fruit and raisin on the nose but herbs and spices on the palate.

Absolutely impressive. Smooth and leathery, dark and just a tad spicy. Pair this with a good ribeye or if something else with onions. This is a juicy and delicious wine.

Massive. Hot. But with enough structure to hold it all together.
