2014. Young, meaty, and oh so full of itself. Not a lot of change since last note. (See below) If only more American producers could pull this off. The way it should be.

2014. Cool berries on the nose. Delicious and delightful cool climate syrah. Lush fruit but light on the palate. Super-fine tannins, smoky and roasty earthy notes, insistent acid, and a satisfying and lingering finish. Terrific balance and concentration. Will be even better in 3-5 years. 14.4% abv. 124 cases produced.

Fleshy and thick, dim acidity on the backend, but great texture and savory fattiness.

Fruit still present with smoke and earthy on the palate. At 9+ years old, drink now as it at its peak. February 2024.
