This is the rainbow Syrah. Outstanding carbonic Syrah. I think it shows that SB Syrah has way more to offer than some of the Pinot. Blueberry, cranberry, forest, rocks, a bit of herbs/spice, but the acidity really shines. Loving this new winery inside a winery. Definitely better than standard stolpman wines. — 4 years ago

Lite with slight fizz, perfect with spicy dishes and for a hot summer day. — 5 years ago

Hot vintage. Overripe red tree berries, smoked meat and a hint of Provencal herbs. A bit lack of structure. — 6 years ago

2017. Decanted 4+ hours. Pains me to not give one of my favorite labels a 95+, but this hot vintage is simply missing the red fruit to go with all the rustic leather and barnyard funk that makes Pegau so unique. Rich but not sure fruit is going to come around. Discounted- $50 at Wine Library, elsewhere. — 5 years ago

Beautiful with an hour of breathing time. Concentrated berry fruit without being jammy. Pure. Fruit forward. Hot on the finish. Several blind tasters were leaning Grenache. — 6 years ago

#Wine Beautiful floral delicate aroma. A breath of spring with a lovely taste of raspberries and grapefruit. Lightly acidic and just perfectly crisp for these hot summer days.

#Pairing Pizza! Though, I think this would be a great match for roasted chicken.

BBQ & Zin night!

This was served too warm for my liking, especially alongside the hot TX BBQ, so it was tough to get everything out of it, but it was still youthful and powerful. Mainly red and black fruits here, with some sweet oak. Not quite jammy but not quite peppery. Good balance. — 6 years ago

Thank God for cousins with hookups! Cracked this to celebrate my son, Johnny, and his arrival.

A little hot. I suggest one small rock to help release other aromas and flavors that can be overwhelmed by the alcohol. Vanilla, cream, baking spices. Absolutely love it accompanied with a Nicaraguan cigar. Cheers to new life and future endeavors! — 8 years ago

If there were ever an archetypical Syrah, Jamet's Cote-Rotie would be a strong candidate. To me this is a pure expression of a classic Northern Rhone Syrah. It is not a single site, but a blend of terroirs, encompassing over 20 sites mostly from hard rock schist bedrock with little to no topsoil. There is NO Viognier in this wine like one might expect from most Cote-Rotie that might have 1-5% co-fermented.

Importantly, there is also a lot less of the oak character that can dominate and overwhelm many Northern Rhone wines. The oak maturation, while not short at 22 months, only uses 15% new oak with no trace of it on the palate as it is perfectly integrated. Grape bunches are whole cluster fermented and macerated for up to 3 weeks.

The 2007 we have here was drinking superbly for a young wine, showing lively and racy layers of peppercorn spice, roast beef, and warm blackberry and currant fruit from the hot 2007 vintage. While from a warm vintage, not a hair is out of place. Density and purity exude from the nose and hint at what a brilliant future this wine has. Perfect acidity and fleshy ripe tannin provide the backbone structure for father time to peel back the layers of this beauty. I will be chceking back in 5 years at the earliest. — 8 years ago
