Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard Syrah

Nice spice and red fruit notes :)

Tons of briney olives

Fresh ground black pepper, anyone?

Surprised by how good this is!

Trying to drink Qupé more often. This 09 was def expressive but still not there yet. Wanna dance again in couple more years.

Far and away my best btl, and just lovely now. On the nose: cola, olive brine, blackberry. On the palate: lovely acidity, good density, blackberry, olive brine, soft cola, black pepper, and still a nice tannic spine. Finishes with a flourish of black pepper and spice. Perfect for our mood on this crisp eveming.

The Steakhouse, Tokyo; sour after-taste, but relatively smooth and light

Tasted blind. Called it cab but hey, winner of the lineup

Delicate red fruits, smooth and easy to drink

Smooth flavor, level throughout the sip. Notes of dark oak and vanilla.
