Stagecoach Vineyard Marsanne 2007

The age adds a lovely oxidative dimension to the wine that weaves together with the sharp almond tones. Viscous and rich but still holds good verve. Finishes a wee bit hot, but still relatively well integrated for 15%. — 8 years ago

Buffalo Hill Rockpile Vineyard Syrah 2007

Drink now. Dark fruit is quite subdued now, melding into garrigue (sp?) and shale streak. Not as overpowering as it was earlier in its drinking window. - Vintage 2007 tasted Jan 2015. — 9 years ago

Eaglepoint Ranch Petite Sirah 2007

Dark purple in the glass. Full nose of blueberry compote and dark ash. Echoed on the full-bodied palate with firm tannins. Still plenty of time left. — 9 years ago

JC Cellars

Musci Vineyard Syrah 2009

Inky purple color with black fruits, vanilla, violets and herbs de Provence aromas. On the palate, it's full-bodied, delicious and decidedly hedonistic with blackberry, plum, black currant, and vanilla flavors framed with very good acidity and dusty tannins. Long finish. 15.8% alcohol — 10 years ago
