Excellent. Likely the best Syrah we’ve had in a long time. Time does this well. Still dusty and big but balanced. — 9 months ago

Just opened. Probably needs time to breathe. Still enjoying. Smells earthy. Chewy but smooth. Dark fruit. Softening up. — 3 years ago

Very distinct cherry nose and primary fruit. Supple chalky tannins with big ripe cherries. Some earthiness but cherry dominant. Medium bodied, well structured, probably has a few more years left. Medium finish. — 2 years ago

Drinking the 2017 in 2021. Nose is rich with blackberry and blueberry. Lighter on the palate, with hints s of blackberry, strawberry and ripe fruit. Light and smooth with very low tannins. Oaks and a light earthy finish. Very nice wine. Wish I had a few bottles to set aside for about five years. — 4 years ago

Dark red/purple color. Exquisite nose featuring violets/lavender, plum, cassis, menthol and black olives. Dark cherry/plum/currant on the palate with additional notes of tobacco, dried basil and toast. Impeccable balance, nice concentration and perfectly integrated. Long finish and super soft tannins. Great example of an Oakville Cabernet. Fantastic! — 2 years ago

9.5

Thick and dark fruit. Floral nose. I love the smell more than texture. Tart fruit. Has something else like a wood or earth that toned down the fruit. I enjoy. Tastes much better after it opens up for a while. Went from chewy to softer after a few hours. — 3 years ago

9.6

Deep ruby coloration. On the nose, florals, minerals, strong strawberry, raspberry and cherry. On the palate, very fruit forward, with strawberry dominating, cherry and raspberry as well. Oak, leather, chocolate and more strawberry on a long finish. Moderate and well balanced tannins. Medium body and opened up to a surprisingly rich mouthfeel and great, drinkable wine. — 7 years ago
