100 percent Syrah from Red Mountain. Delicious, light to medium bodied. Apparently hard to get distributed, but worth it!

Pop and pour and it was a little tannic and disjointed tonight. No rating. Decanting in cellar and I will revisit tomorrow.

This 2007 Syrah is glorious and ready to drink. A creamy velvet of dark fruit with smoke and vanilla. Just plain sumptuous.

Surprisingly good for the cool 2011 vintage, this has real depth of flavor. Bright black fruits and a savory finish. Nice

Still lots of life left in this one. Dark brambly fruits and substantial supporting structure keeps this one lively and still young.
