Savory, meaty Syrah. High acidity adds brightness and lift. Would benefit from food and/or time to neutralize the acidity a bit. Really interesting stuff though.

Somm cat nip comes correct. Hits my graillot button. Such an honor to have @Tegan Passalacqua send from his own cellar for this tasting.

Another bottle from the new lineup. Lean and tasty. Blackberry bitter green wood and white pepper.
