This might literally be my favorite red. Had to remind myself it was wine and that I needed to sip and savor it. Notes of berries, dark chocolate...no oaky taste....just the right amount of sweet- and tartness. — 8 years ago

I hate it when people use Burgundian to describe New World wine. But damn if this isn't the most Burgundian Pinot I've ever had from California. Dominated by mineral and earth and structure, with beautiful, quiet, well delineated fruit. I'm down with @Pax Mahle's Syrah, and he's slowly convincing me that he knows something about Pinot, too. — 10 years ago
Great sour favors, nice hop backend and very good tart flavor of the wood. Sour flavors of sour plums a slight cheese rind flavor a very low bitter back tone. A great dry beer to end my day. — 10 years ago

The Hidden Cave Devils Lair Shiraz rocks! A drink now wine, I bought for dinner to have with slow cooked lamb. Quintessential red fruit, plum, raspberry followed by a hint of dark chocolate and peppercorns. Everyone devoured it and was only surpassed by the meal. I give it a 8 1/2 our of 10 — 12 years ago
Best in Show at Vancouver Magazine's International Wine Competition. I tasted this wine at their gala Big Night event, paired with Dungeness crab in dashi custard and yuzu. Heavenly! — 12 years ago
Jotting these notes the morning after... on the pop this had quite the reductive funk, something I enjoy. After a couple hour decant the tannins settled and a balanced Syrah was cleanly revealed. Game, spice, smoke, blood, plus dark fruits, olive oil... so good. — 7 years ago

Another @SkimmerhornWine from Creston, BC the Devil's Chair. Great pairing of Pinot Noir and Marechal Foch. Should have bought a case of this one :) #yegwine — 11 years ago
Nose was of dry grass, pear. Tasted of butter and strangely good memory of the Russian River on a very hot day. — 11 years ago

I really dig this one. Sweet but balanced. Darker and bolder than expected but not disappointed — 7 years ago
Absolutely delicious and silky. Amazing flavours that keep on evolving. A top top white wine for sure! — 8 years ago
2014. Cool berries on the nose. Delicious and delightful cool climate syrah. Lush fruit but light on the palate. Super-fine tannins, smoky and roasty earthy notes, insistent acid, and a satisfying and lingering finish. Terrific balance and concentration. Will be even better in 3-5 years. 14.4% abv. 124 cases produced. — 8 years ago
Wow. Just wow. Great Paso Syrah.....
This merits a few bottles bought when I visit next. — 9 years ago
Tastes of yellow seed grass with hints of plastic. Fantastic! The flavour is beyond delectable. It just tickles my fancy like no other. It swims down your throat like a yellowfin tuna swimming downstream the St. Lawrence River. Sometimes i dream of this wine while watching the stars on my private island. — 10 years ago
Wow, what a treat. Every sip was different from the next and it just got better and better. — 10 years ago
