This is from White Waterhill Vineyard. Huge, lush palate with tons of red, cooked fruits. Borderline medicinal qualities, but super delicious non the less.

This is the best wine my grandfathers made. Even got a picture of him drinking it. This Syrah is huge in body and spicy like no other. Intense black peppercorn on the nose, lush creamy berry up front. Finishes again peppercorn spice. This is as good as it gets.

Really full mid palate. Subtle tannin. Slightly thorny and spicy green favors.

Wow peppercorns. Luscious berry fruit with a touch of smokiness. But can't escape the black pepper tones. Great spicy Syrah

Smooth. Smooth. Smooth. Aroma of roast asparagus. Lighter on the palette. Nice subtle peppery finish. Great with Easter sausage pie
