White pepper, earthy, cassis and raspberry on the nose. Dark, rich, dirty, earthy and raspberry syrup. Beautiful wine.

Unexpected -- tasted more like a Gamay than a Syrah.

Fabulous olive notes jumping out of the nose--intoxicating in and of itself! Had this in a comparison tasting with the 2012 and--while both are great--this was just an amazing vintage!

One of my favorite domestic Syrahs ever. We first had it as a pairing with the meat courses at French Laundry, then visited the next day. Stellar, stellar wine.
