Big wine with that Syrah and petite Syrah taking center stage with jammy fruit forward tastes with a high tannin finish. Not a go to for me as I prefer a lighter touch red but not a bad change of pace for an every once in a while thing. 2015 and I think this has got a lot of years left in it.

Mar 6th, 2019Very unusual blend but surprisingly good. I had it two nights in a row and both times it tasted like velvety dark chocolate, with some complex notes of dried berries and herbs. Made by a small family winery, and it tastes like it was made with love.

A bit overripe and non descript. Raspberry/cherry/plum sauce, wet wool, bitter chocolate. Lowered rating next day, tasted like prune juice.

It’s a good wine. Not overly complex or@memorable but Love the heavy bottle. It’s been rated as high as 96 (Parker?) not remotely close to that rating. I would buy it again but it’s not special.

Lovely royal purple ink with beguiling aromatics and a pinch of violet. Heavy body with balanced acidity and tannins, lush black currants, raisin, soft leather, and tongue enticing white pepper. Delightfully long finish rivaling the length of an Italian stallion. Perfect for those seeking a well-balanced wine on the drier side to be served with red meats or any savory morcels. Enticing mix of Syrah, Grenache, Petite Sirah, and Viognier.
