One of my favorite California Syrah vineyards. A bit too much density (perhaps even RS) and oak for me. Quite dark fruit even at 13.6% abv.

'09 & Griffins means heft & depth, but this has a touch more oak than I prefer.

Such an incredible wine! Black olive, black pepper, tons of meaty/savoury notes. Nicely done!

Light in alcohol but not shy with flavor. Smoke, iron, cherry.
