Absolutely stunning. Some savory, salty, sea air, with oyster, chive. Some deep notes of lemon and lime. Perfume as nose comes out of stem. Uber complex, with layers that match nose. A Meursault ying/yang of weight and acid. Thank you Jeff & Brittany!!! — 9 years ago
I'd put this 2007 against a Rudius or Paul Hobbs any day. I understand your rating system and this is a 97 point wine. Beautiful, silky tannins and loads of the dark fruit we love from Napa. Nicely extracted and a big red wine. Needed 30 minutes to show its the real deal. Call Lisa Redmon to see if she has a few more bottles. Great people from St Helena. @Paul T @Martin G Rivard @Ron R @David L @Bill Bender @Jim Trobaugh — 7 years ago
Not as true to varietal form in scope of GSM with richer, more oak influenced from nose to finish. For the price a great value and enjoyable none-the-less — 9 years ago

Nice deep color, rich black fruit nose. Integrated tannins for a young wine. Balanced and approachable. — 8 years ago
Last of 14 bottles purchased from multiple sources over 7 years, with three from the library release a few years back. Always a favorite, although the early bacon fat signature has dissipated over the years. Still a nice Syrah nose of roasted meat and dark fruit, but finish was a bit thin on this auction bottle. Forgot this was 16.5% ABV, but not throwing off any noticeable heat. — 8 years ago

Surprisingly not over the top given the alc. Young. Took an hour just to blow off some steam. Balanced. — 7 years ago
