Gravel Lens Hop Camp Vineyard Syrah

Great bang for the buck

Lovely balance. Soft spice for a Syrah

So much going on, starting with dark fruit and finishing with minerals, and tons of complexity in between. Love it.

Did not like (2011)

This wine wasn't all that great. Very thin without much character. Very disappointed. Had a little spice but didn't help it all that much.

Nice wine. Only complaint is a bit too oaky

Wow! This was very much in the style of a northern Rhone, with herby aromas and flavors of bacon fat and minerals. It evolved nicely throughout the evening. What a balance between fruit and herbs! This went amazingly well with rosemary garlic rib eye.

Drinking beautifully

Proud to serve this wine to clients and friends alike. Rave reviews all around the table for same

Don't know if it is just the vintage, but this has lost a lot of speed on the fastball. Drinks almost like a thin and hollow RR Pinot. Used to be like candied bacon
