Cranberry, black cherry, earth, cola, coffee, rhubarb, spicy and floral. Tart. Great finish. Well-balanced with a nice, smooth texture. Best with food IMO.

Just an incredible 14 year old #syrah from Wind Gap that’s just screaming Crozes-Hermitage or Cornas in the glass. Cured meat, bacon fat, black olive followed by a deep well of brooding black fruit aromas. Palate is fresh with salivating acidity, aged fruit, coffee, dark chocolate and ethereal tannins on a long finish. Beautiful wine, especially for $53 for 6 bottles at WineBid (before shipping.)

Wild savory nose with dark berries. Acidic and balanced palate with earth and fruit and long complex finish.

Delicious, balanced, tannic finish that has held up and softened too much. Love it.

Wow. What a surprise! Not overly baked, but meaty bodied. Peppery nose. Super clean wine.
