Color, aromatics, and palate show no signs of aging. Remarkable. Soulful.

Big, bright and explosive. The color is a magical hue of deep garnet and the nose of blackberry cobbler, balsamic and cassis jump out of the glass. The mouth is full and round with juicy ripe fruit melding with chocolate and baking spice. The finish goes on forever and you never want it to end. Needed a Kona rubbed ribeye!!!

Orion is one of California's iconic wines, and the 2004 is a great example. Deep, rich black fruit, eucalyptus, very complex and compelling. Years of life ahead.

Masterful balance between perfectly ripe black fruit, rich toast-spice and fresh herb/leaf flavors.

What a 1905 syrah from California should taste like. Just lovely elegant cola menthol silken as nice as I remembered. Such a pleasure to drink
