High toned, red fruit, a bit of dark berry, acid, tree bark, forest floor, tar, funky in a good way, aged perfectly. Dare I say Chave-ish? Got this for a steal. Will buy more immediately.

Fruity, earthy, vibrant, needs air and time, but wonderful

2010. Tar, game, smashed Marion berries, acidity, tannic structure, very light on its feet, but intensity

Let it open up. Aromas of bell pepper, cranberries, smoked meat, mint, matchbook, pickled egg(!), sulfur, and key lime pie! I swear!

Tannic, leathery, tight, with hints of petrol on the nose. Needs more time in the bottle to see if it will open up.

Definitely from a cool year, dominated by the Syrah. Dry, lean, tannic with hints of blue and black fruits.

Perhaps the most compelling new world Syrah of 2011. No new oak, partial stems, but so unified and contoured with no abruptness.

Rich and balanced with gorgeous notes of black fruits, oak, red meat, blood and cocoa. Intense and complex with all the stuffing to make this age-worthy.
