Everett Ridge
Nuns Canyon Vineyard Syrah
Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Vanillin, super ripe fruit, nothing really wrong here, other than the wine seems a little like a caricature, with loads of sweet new oak, ABV (15%) is quite high, yet it’s absolutely still drinkable, not intended as criticism, but not really an enjoyable or interesting drink at this point?? (Which, in fairness, is my fault for holding this too long??)

Dec 11th, 2024Ripe, rich black fruit aromas and flavors, definitely a fruit bomb style, medium-long finish, good.

Sep 15th, 2024Dark color, rich ripe fruit, this shows a tad boozy (14.9% ABV), but still quite nice California Syrah, not the same structure or balance of the Colbourn Ranch, more fruit bomb also, very good.
