Tasted four #piedrasassi side by side horizontal this was the best. All four were a little #brett Definitely the best in my opinion. Delicious #Syrah with a little bit of everything and balanced. — 6 months ago
Robert Keenan Winery
Napa Valley Syrah 2019
Beautiful #syrah from Keenan, albeit opened way too early. Posh bramble berry on the nose, starting to get some of that Syrah meaty black olive character as it warms. Delicious acidity on palate, not inconsequential tannins on the finish that build. Lovely wine but can’t help thinking it would be glorious in a decade. — a year ago
Domaine de Poulvarel
Les Grès Costières-de-Nîmes Red Rhone Blend 2019
Eminently quaffable #costieresdenimes ; brier black/purple berries, cassis, soft spicy aromas, plush on palate with succulent acidity underlayment, dark cocoa and coffee notes mid-palate through finish, tannins that build deceptively with each sip. This could be even better in half a decade but delicious Rhône blend even today - 70% #syrah 30% #grenache . — a year ago

Ramey Wine Cellars
Claret Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015
Ramey’s interpretation of #claret is quite interesting. After 9 years of bottle time it’s aged more than expected. Stewed plum, quite faint dark fruit on the nose. Prominent acidity on palate, primary fruit exited stage left, some sherry notes but still noticeable tannins. 68% #cabernetsauvignon, 18% #merlot, 6% #syrah, 4% #malbec, 4% #petitverdot — a year ago

Nothing profound here, just a dandy quaffable #greek #syrah at a very reasonable bottle price at a nice family restaurant in Rafina. Soft tannins, jammier fruity style Syrah. — 4 months ago
