The fruit is slightly faded, yet still darker and coming through. It’s thick and slightly musky. Soil. Definitely tasty.

Drank for twins bday - 2008 birth year.
Very nice. Classic CA Syrah style. Wish I had some more bottles for future!

2011 X Block 30th Anniversary. That is the kind of bottle you want to hold. Beef jerky palate right now, but aiming towards a meaty N Rhone in 3-4 more years. Tight, but solid.

Excellent. Qupe syrahs are always great, but this is a step up.
