Russian River Valley Syrah

Nice job @Pax Mahle - this is delicious!!

Cranberry, black cherry, earth, cola, coffee, rhubarb, spicy and floral. Tart. Great finish. Well-balanced with a nice, smooth texture. Best with food IMO.

Well that was good, old world impressions on this Sonoma surprise. I Need to taste more !

Mature and at peak drinking window with dark fruited savory lively texture and palate and long tingling finish. Perfect for Wilson’s rib roast dinner.

Just an incredible 14 year old #syrah from Wind Gap that’s just screaming Crozes-Hermitage or Cornas in the glass. Cured meat, bacon fat, black olive followed by a deep well of brooding black fruit aromas. Palate is fresh with salivating acidity, aged fruit, coffee, dark chocolate and ethereal tannins on a long finish. Beautiful wine, especially for $53 for 6 bottles at WineBid (before shipping.)

In its prime

Hitting its stride.

Wild savory nose with dark berries. Acidic and balanced palate with earth and fruit and long complex finish.

Delicious, balanced, tannic finish that has held up and softened too much. Love it.

Absolutely delicious. Beautifully balanced with a lovely tannic finish.
