Mocha, cherries, blackberries, peppered bacon, violets. Good but not gonna make me forget about the northern rhone (or even fave CA syrahs like Arnot Roberts, Enfield, Renaissance, Rhys etc) anytime soon

Roasted meats, black pepper, bitter chocolate, violets. Pristine bottle that would've been fascinating to put alongside N Rhone traditionalists. @Failla Wines

Rich and ripe... But still maintains its savory side. In a good place right now. Different than the Faillas of today (I think) because of that ripeness.

Wild animal bramble berries. Depth and fresh, still in its youth. I seriously do not understand why this kind of Domestic #Syrah does not get more love, when age worthy beauties like this are available.

Mind blowing as always. Raspberry, venison, black pepper and cardamom are among the array of intriguing flavors that dance across the tongue like a tightly choreographed ballet.

You don't know how delicious "earthy" can be until you taste this wine. And animal like crazy.
