Always amazingly good. I maintain the Pisoni vineyard Syrah is better than the Pinot. I just love it. Warm fruit compote on the nose with cinnamon, coffee and cracked pepper. Rich and opulent but with great grip and tension. Just fabulous

Rich, thick and delicious. Notes of camphor and dark fruit. Rich but picked up a bit with some acid.

I think a year ago this was firing, but still decent. SO2 levels have dropped so didn't handle well on day two.

Nice fruit and powerful body with darker flavors in the mid-palate. Not super peppery, but makes up for that with the power.
