One of the best Syrah's I've had in a long time.

Surprisingly uninspiring. Some interesting inorganic notes, pretty Ruby red color, but not a lot of fruit, and fairly tanin-dominated for my taste.

Supes smooth. Elegant spice. Dark grapes. Smooth finish. Pairs well with spicy food (apparently). $36 drinks like a $55

Fruit forward deep wine with spice and density. A slightly unpleasant metallic note in the mouth. Enjoyed the 2011 vintage more.

A tremendous, fruit forward, wonderful drinking wine. Was perfect with a bolognese. Black fruits and supple mouth feel. Ready to drink now and enjoy.

Perhaps one of the best Viognier I have every had. Smooth, crisp, with just a hint of mineral finish.
