This is a rowdy rooster! Very good balance and just banging flavor.

Not as crazy about this as I wanted to be. I love Syrah, especially from Rhone, but this is just a bit too sour tasting for me. It's well made for sure. Good balance and it's nuanced enough, but I definitely prefer the Pundit, if I were to compare.

Had the pleasure of tasting this Bob Burtheau from Ste Michelle. I tasted this along with Tenet GSM and Pundint. Really liked this wine, it is a great value at this price point, great Syrah mouthfeel and body, dark red fruits, with some nice balanced acidity and tannin. Cool label too. Don't fear Cock!

A little surprised by this one, been told this year is better than some. Solid herbs de provence on the nose, with a subtle showing of rich plum. The first sip is surprisingly bright, ripe raspberry strawberry with a wonderful backbone of herby earthiness. And thankfully a nice light meatiness hasn't been forgotten as it brings up the rear. A solid medium bodied wine with a great amount of complexity brings this bottle to an outstanding value.

This wonderfully delicious breakfast wine awakens the palate and as the label so clearly illustrates, pairs nicely with eggs.
