John Lockwood ladies and gents, keep and eye out for his name. Blind tasting yesterday revealed 50% lovers of this wine, 50% felt it was one dimensional. I'd have to disagree... I think it's textbook Syrah. Yesterday I noted it "smells like a Pax or Arnot-Roberts Syrah" because of the white floral tones and the unmistakeable Syrah characteristics. Had a touch of EA, but I felt it made the wine more lofty, carrying other esters up from the glass. Blueberry, red currant, baked olives and a touch of cream. Standing great on day 2, EA is still there but still a positive note, not a nail polish remover, more like blueberry magic marker meets blueberry pie, brown spices- nutmeg and clove, a little walnut hull, dark chocolate. Color looks extracted, aroma's would imply the same, but its not overly so, soft yes, acidity is there but shaded by the fruit. The grapes are sustainably farmed, harvested at 23.5 Brix 100% whole cluster, gentle foot tread 1-2 times per day for a short cold soak, followed by a cool 10 day fermentation with native yeasts, pressed to barrel before dry to finish ferment, native ML. 13.7% alcohol 3.7 pH. 125 cases — 13 years ago

2006 incarnation of Sine Qua Non's long barrel-aged syrah. Co-fermented with a little viognier, this is a fantastic wine. Took about 45 minutes for this to really open up after decanting, but then it was awesome. Incredible aromas, beautiful balance, and a finish that goes on for over a minute. Great wine. — 11 years ago
I had this with scallops wrapped with smoked bacon that I sautéed in Irish garlic butter with some artisanal bread and salad. Perfect :) — 13 years ago

"Dark red cherries, plums, new leather, smoke and game explode from David Ramey's 2012 Syrah. Intense and voluptuous to the core..."

Our Syrahs are grown in the cool climate of the Sonoma Coast, which offers a style reminiscent of the Northern Rhone regions of Hermitage and Cornas. The Sonoma Coast is co-fermented with 6% Viognier and 25% whole grape clusters, leading to aromas and flavors of smoked meat, white pepper, green olive and grapefruit, coupled with a silky texture and savory flavor. After a year and a half in barrel sur lies, it is lightly fined with egg whites and bottled without filtration. — 12 years ago

Barrel. Beautiful wine. Very different from the "no vintage on the label" one. Very similar label - very easy to get it wrong. — 10 years ago
