Some Syrah-like aromas of smoke and bacon fat give way to a surprisingly delicate berry-flavored wine. Lighter, yet simultaneously cleaner and more complex than the High Pass regular bottling. Doesn’t seem to have the stuffing to age, but awfully pretty right now.

Green-streaked barnyard aromas couple with black cherries and tobacco in this varietally true offering. Medium-weight on the palate, maybe even a bit low in acidity. Decent, but doesn’t truly sing.
