One of the best damn merlots I've tasted. If all merlot tasteed this good, the world would be a better place. Powerful currant and fig notes on the nose, mouth saturating tobacco, plum, and hints of cloves on the palette, all of which linger long after the swallow. Fanfreakingtastic!

This was actually a very nice Merlot. Wouldn’t hold much longer. Had with food and there was a bit of sweetness/vanilla to this, very interesting.

Such an interesting wine. The taste really changes from sip to sip. Really smokey too. Fantastic merlot. Different than most WA merlots.

Very nice. Our first bottle of the 2010 Syrah. A complex, big Syrah. Served with lamb chops. Nice nose and smooth finish.

2010 vintage. Aging well. This is my second bottle and much better than 6months ago. Deep, big and complex. Big nose and good legs. Some spicy, with vanilla and hints of chocolate. Finishes with leather.

2010 vintage, first try of the 2010. Nice nose, somewhat fruit forward With deep plum and hints of chocolate in the finish. I think it will improve with age.
