Tasted this wine in the barrel when we visited Scholium in 2011. This wine was exposed to oak barrels for 32 months and also three hours of Abe playing "Pussy Galore" by The Roots (his iPad was set to repeat one track for the duration of the tasting).

Green pepper, black olive, rubber, and blackberries. Oh, and more sediment than I’ll find in the next 25 bottles I drink combined. All in a very good way, though, you understand.

Sometimes your friends make wine and it's delicious. This was a Syrah - not the Sauv Blanc it loaded.
