Complex and expressive, what I was hoping for in this Sonoma Coast Syrah. Black and blueberry, purple florals, fresh mint, game, and freshly cracked black pepper. Fruit is ripe without being jammy, and acid and tannins are both nicely present as counterbalance. Bought for a steal - will be trying to get some more.

Superb experience. Excited for the outlook of more recent vintages! Pax got it right.

Major blueberries on the palate. I felt it was a bit short on the finish. It could have been served too cold so i wouldn't mind giving it another try later.

Gorgeous Sonoma coast Syrah tasting like a classic Rhone. Purple flowers, charcuterie, herbs and a purple freshness from some carbonic maceration. Would be very happy with this wine every night.

Really needs to age longer but after decanting it opens up into a beautiful, full-bodied red. Great balance of dark plums, acidity and finish.
