Lovely zippy minerality, apricots, lychee, kiwi skin, Young and easily drinkable right now. Lapping riverstone for a long time after the gulp. Paired with VA "Cannon Cove" oysters. — 9 years ago

Close your eyes and you'd swear it was from Champagne. Acid, lees, texture and wonderful length. I need to get more! Thanks to @Christopher Bates for sending this gem! — 9 years ago

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

Double decanted for 13 hours. Still very youthful, but you can start to see where this is headed. I will hold off opening another bottle for a few years. — 5 years ago
