Really enjoying this membership and this wine. Some fruit on the nose, but a well rounded wine that even shows some earthy leather notes in the mouth — 6 years ago
The first bottle of Christopher Tynan Judge Family Vineyard Syrah that I ever had an opportunity to drink met an untimely demise when it fell through the bottom of my brother’s cardboard wine carrier and shattered on the driveway. What I recall from that rather unfortunate mishap was how wonderful it smelled as it slowly streamed down the cracks of the concrete. So, I was elated to open this bottle of the most recent vintage. Decanted for two hours. From the first pour, the bouquet did not disappoint. Strong aromas of meat, lavender, dark berries, dates, figs, anise...it was a feast for the olfactory system. On the palate it was tightly wound and unwilling to fully express itself. This is a powerfully tannic wine with the stuffing and structure to last in the cellar for a long time. Make no mistake, this is delicious in its youth but an extended decant (full day) would be prudent at this stage to get the most out of it. Otherwise, let these sleep. — 6 years ago
We went to the winery a few years and I fell in love with these wines. This is a deep color and mouth feel Pinot. Incredible. Had it with tuna and absolutely loved it. — 7 years ago
Apple, lemon, dried apricot, honey, peach, blood orange and hints of oak. Great acidity and balance. — 3 years ago
PNP, much more evolved since my last visit with this wine; after 20 minutes in the glass wine was singing & rock In’ 🎼🎸! Classic Oakville To Kalon notes, loamy, deeply concentrated dark black & blue fruits. Winemaker-Chris Tynan hits a home run here! Cheers!🍇🍷👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 — 5 years ago

Jeb 98, not sure any Myriad Syrah received that high of rating, but it is Jeb🤷🏼♂️
According to Jeb, Along with the 2013, the 2016 Syrah Judge Family Vineyard is up with the greats, and I’d put this up against any Syrah in California or France. Offering incredible purity of fruit as well as notes of blueberries, blackberries, crushed flowers, gamey meats, and pepper, it’s more forward and opulent than the 2015 yet has fabulous depth and concentration, ripe tannins, and a finish that won’t quit. Hats off to Tynan for another insanely good Syrah that can be drunk today or cellared for 20 years or more. — 4 years ago
