13’ Herman Story Nuts & Bolts Syrah. Pull the cork & let open up in your glass.
💯 Syrah. Popping purple color. Nose is not as appealing as the palate. Very approachable immediately & lighter in body than I expected. Don’t let that fool you though.
Boysenberry, raspberry, dark fruit liqueur, roasted coffee. Seamless cherry cola spice on the finish. What’s not to like.

Lots of interesting character...everything from incense to baking spice to the animal. A little hot...

Jan 10th, 2026Nice Syrah, lots of depth and character, front and middle are lovely, back end resolution nice but not perfect balance for me. I don't know that a 100% syrah can ever resolve in perfect balance for me. That said, it is better than good. Hefty, dark ruby, swagger. Watch out.. she bang: 15.7%. Big enough that it doesn't taste hot though

Feb 15th, 2021First meal out in nearly 4 months at one of our favorite spots. Made sense to bring a mag of one of our favorite wines. Crowd pleasing, classic brambly, hedonistic syrah from Mr. From!
