Owner's Blend Synergy 65 Temecula Valley Syrah Blend
Temecula Valley, South Coast, California, USA
Very good but didn’t blow me away like earlier vintages. Flavor profile and drinkability as a pop and pour wine are all there and worth the price - I’ve just grown to expect more from Synergy 65.

Oct 29th, 2025Exceptional on opening. Nose of dark berries and spice. Palate with complex of spiciness, juiciness, black cherry, blueberry, blackberry, & plum. Balanced low intensity tannins with lingering finish.

Oct 8th, 2023Returned to excellence this year. Bright fruity nose, deep burgundy color, juicy mouthwatering on the palate - slight effervescence - lots of layers of well balanced Zinfandel, Merlot, Syrah, Cab Franc, and Cab Sauvignon. Mild lingering finish with effervescence returning. Slightly sweet but the balance and complexity make it a pleasant experience.

Oct 24th, 2020Nice nose and smooth but a little light on the boldness side compared to other years.

Really nice blend. Big and really softened up after decanting for about 20 minutes. Complex, with a full finish.
