Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2018 “La Bruma” pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart black and blue fruits: black brambles, blueberries, figs, black pepper, lavender, some Kalamata olive, cured meat, dried green herbs, ferrous minerals and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Unmistakably cool climate Syrah made in a style I love. Drink now through 2038. — 10 days ago

Wet volcanic rock, burgundy, gasoline, fireworks. Just a flavor explosion; less cherry and acid than the Peay. As good, probably better. I had the ‘13 of the Savoy in Hawaii, and it was also excellent. “Tastes like a quarry” — MRM — 4 years ago

Still soaring. Definitely a few more years left in it. A short decant is all it needs today — 6 months ago

I enjoyed this pinot, as I enjoy many from Cristom (in the Peay/Radio-Coteau family for me). It didn’t taste “old”, as it still had some fruit, but it was smooth and subtle. Would drink again. $45. — 3 years ago

13.4% ABV Straw color, low acid, medium mouth feel. Good wine, just not my cup of tea. — 3 months ago

Pale ruby in color. Aromas of cherry, smoke, and spices. On the palate, it’s fruit-forward with well-balanced acidity and tannins. The higher ABV stands out for a Pinot Noir. Drinking well now despite its young vintage. — 7 months ago
