Beautiful aromas invite you into this beautiful Syrah, with black cherry, cassis, violet, sandalwood, red currant, anise and pepper aromas that lead to a lush mouthfeel. It’s a tremendous wine, sweet in smoky oak and firm in tannins, with a finish of spicy butterscotch. Only 212 cases were produced, but it will be worth the search to track down a few bottles.

A smooth, ripe Syrah, easy and soft in the mouth, with richly extracted berry, mocha, white pepper and sandalwood flavors. It’s a dry, balanced wine showing some real elegance.

Nice blackberry, mocha, teriyaki beef and pepper flavors in this dry, smoothly tannic wine. It’s too soft to show development in the bottle, but is pretty good for drinking now.

Strong and awkward in winemaker interventions, this Chardonnay is dominated by buttered toast and popcorn flavors. Pineapple jam shows up, accented with crisp acidity.

Tough and gritty, with uneven tannins and some minty green flavors alongside the cherries, mulberries and red currants. Not going anywhere, so drink up.
