Great wine at a great price and currently at its peak. Nicely balanced with ripe fruit, silky tannin, and precise acidity. Dark red fruit with a touch of black pepper. Great with food or on its own.

Slightly on the dry side, mildly fruity...
Overall decent to have with Grilled Lamb/Chicken

Very soft. Middle of the road oh nose, structure, and fruit. Nothing to dislike but nothing to make we want to come back.

Really like this, though not what is expect from Syrah, exactly--a little soft for me, do like the lovey fruit and moderate oak (too much is such a bummer) but this isn't a big meaty wine if you like a Rhone are looking for that.

Pairing with Wagyu Flat Iron steak at Eleven Plates & Wine in Austin, TX. Great body, rich fruit with roasted plum, chocolate, and a hint of spice. Love finding this wine from my neighborhood in Texas.

Deep, dark, mineral and earth. Pairs well with Mama Zuma's Revenge habanero chips.
