Smells like fresh spear morello cherry and raspberry preserves with rhubarb pie filling with a hint of baking spices. Sweet fruit forward juicy goodness with pie crust blended into a drunken smoothie. Freeze and serve as the bonus adult flavor in a pack of Otter Pops—because moms need a go-to popsicle, too. — 6 years ago
With so many young wines, it’s all about the fruit or acidity. Not with this vintage. This is the complete package. A great compliment to the grilled brazino at Shaker + Spear in Seattle. — 7 years ago

Like a spear. Apricot, anise, less honey. Young and tight but exciting. Stellar. — 10 years ago

This starts out with a tight knit nose of red fruit, mint, and a hint of woodsmoke. Later, aromas intensified into darker red fruit. Flavors offer up dark reds, licorice, spice, silky tannin, and a spear of acidity. Paired awesome with tonite's pizza. One more bottle left but will need more for sure. — 11 years ago
Crisp, spicy white pepper on the front with good acidity. Finishes with spear and apple notes. Nice balance and great price value. — 5 years ago
The 2016 Syrah is a very pretty wine from Greg Brewer's Ex Post Facto project. Racy and perfumed in the glass, with striking aromatic presence, the 2016 makes a strong opening statement. The red and purplish berry fruit is nicely lifted by floral and savory overtones from the whole clusters. It will be interesting to see where this wine goes in the future. Certainly the debut vintage is promising. Brewer gave the fruit, from Spear, 4-5 days of cold soak followed by a lengthy fermentation/maceration of 45 days or so. The 2016 spent 16 months in neutral French oak. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2018) — 6 years ago

Sweet expressive oak up front on the aroma, lots of tannin mid palate that lingers. Slight spear/mint develops after a few minutes. — 10 years ago

Pick up a little stem inclusion on the nose and the wine has a little strawberry on the palate. — 5 years ago
