Really nice. Good amount of tannin that needs some time. Violets, cherries, some trees, some more dried fruits. I like it. — 10 days ago
Opened day before and let sit overnight with cork in. Lovely, picked some lemons from our tree for dinner and this has so many of the components from smell of zesting to juicing. But it’s not all lemons, there’s some almond, touch of tart stone fruit with some bread, lingering finish of vanilla, almonds, lemons. Probably could have been open another day to be even better. — 11 days ago
First Andremily. Pretty great. Decanted for 3 hours. Still evolving. It’s definitely California. There’s a lot of spice, oak, game/meat, big fruit of raspberries, chocolate cherries, baking spice, cedar. It’s pretty well balanced but I wanted more. If I tasted this blind I’m pretty sure I’d never guess Syrah. This is kind of like Herman story Syrah meets merlot from Bordeaux for me rather than rhone. I guess pax Syrah is more my style. — 5 days ago
Tropical, some stone fruit, someone said green almonds and I can’t not taste them now, but this is a lot of acidity with good tart fruit. — 10 days ago

Wow! Explosion of fragrance from the glass. Light red fruit, flowers, touch of earth and forest. Evolving. Palate is so good. Cherries, baking spice, red apple, some earth, lingering acidity and tannin. Not at all what I’d think of as Sonoma Pinot. This is outstanding and will be awesome in a few years. — 8 days ago
This is bonkers good. So fresh. Berries, currant, sage, some flowers, cherries, some pepper and herbs, good acidity, long tart lovely finish. Killer cab franc. — 14 days ago
This is lovely, needed an hour of air and warming up. Good fruit, acidity, stone, lemons, hint of bread and almonds. Would get again at this price. I like le mesnil better though. — 23 days ago
