Nothing like coming home to Uncle Bobby pulling one of your favorites out of his wine bag. The balance, the spice rack of aromas, the depth and length of the dark blue fruit. Syrah defined.

2008 Gonon was a favorite upon release. After a few years, the secondary notes of earth are starting to take over the pure lift that it initially had in youth. Still an incredible wine, but fading just a touch at the moment.
