This is a 100 % organic Syrah grown on decomposed granite hillsides in Saint Joseph, displaying violet, ripe black fruits with hint of dried blueberry, black pepper and vanilla. Slightly musky, dusty, med plus body with great acidity and med plus tannin. A wonderful Saint Joseph has depth, structure, and fruitiness. — 5 years ago
Smells smoky dark fruit. Not tart cherry. Ripe blueberry and chocolate. Very smooth and dry. Not spicy. Not tobacco. Not musty. Not earthy. Not sweet. I know what it's not. But not able to think of what it is. Very drinkable. I wonder how it will taste tomorrow. Medium body so should be good next day too. Some floral to it too. I enjoy it. One of my favorite regions. — 8 years ago

Like Pinot Noirs? This one is not to be missed. Subtle, but velvety fruit you would expect from Bourgogne - but a slight tanginess on finish. Paired incredibly well with our walleye! — 5 years ago

Like it as a Bordeaux. Was surprised pleasantly and Becka likes too. A def repurchase just slightly below St Emilion or Mercurey burgundy. Got at total wine — 10 years ago
Tour d’Argent. Tawny, heavy color in the glass. The Somm smiles. I smile. The room smiles. This is killer juice that opens with a fragrant bouquet of ripe bing cherries, earthly spice, some sois bois, and some Asian spice. I’ve had this wine probably 10+ times and this is easily the best of them. Silky smooth. The nose is sexual. Killer juice. Worth the price. — 5 years ago

A delightfully full bodied Bordeaux. Drank on its own it was very nice and would probably be better paired with red meat or dark chocolate. — 8 years ago

Oak and spice aromas. Lots of oak. Darker red fruit and some black, lots of oak spice on the palate. Way too young right now. — 5 years ago
