Just amazing for such a young #syrah . Dark red and black fruit, some spice, a bit earthy. Wonderful mouth feel, delicate but very much alive. Stays for days.

Birthday dinner wine. Second time I've had it and what a difference some time and air makes. Cranberry and raspberry on the palate. Herbaceous and a little bitter mid palate with a very silky finish. Can see where others got the charred meat flavor. Great value! Can't wait to try in a few years.

Starting to shed its skin a little, has a nice smoky allure to it.

Soft, more feminine syrah but with a sturdy palate. All the Stolpman syrahs are such little babies right now and need time to grow up

A meaty, smoky, savory Syrah with plenty of bramble fruits and a nice lift. Olives too.
