drinking well at this time with at least another year or two of good life. Dark cherry, plum and apricot fruits along with walnut and pine notes on the nose. Dark cherry and apricot fruit with pine and cashew notes on the palate. Longish finish.

really good with a ribeye, leftover from a night out. The mouvedre and the boysenberry compote, kirsch and bloody, meaty notes make this an enjoyable wine now.

Drinking very well now and is quite enjoyable all on it's own. Dark fruit with a soft mouthfeel that transitions well to the firm tannins on the finish. Plum, chocolate, black currant, flavors with some herbal notes.

Youthful wine. Raspberry, blackberry , dark cherry on the palate. Jammy fruit is expressed on the nose with licorice scent. Lively spice, grainy tannins- wine was left in a decanter for 3hrs. Wonderful acidity.

Bright, clean nose with spicy notes, a bit of tart cherry, black pepper. Palate dominated by mouth-watering acidity, cherry and pomegranate flavors, medium tannins. Charming, low-key, very much a food wine, or vin de table in the best sense. Best served at cellar temperature.

Deep violet, no clear rim on the wine, but semi translucent. It took some time to open up, but the nose is a delicate mixed berry and violets. On the palate the berries come through quite well, but taste darker than the smell. Nice mid-palate with a nice texture and mouth coating silky tannin. The minerals and acidity have great chemistry. A good finish ends this nicely, but a little high in the ABV department and not masked very well. …

Needs 30 min to open. not much on the nose, but bursts with flavors of cherry, red currant, and cinnamon. Short yet strong backbone of acidity than transitions well to medium finish with some leather and earth. Got to say the acidity was very pleasant and should give a few more years of life to this vintage. Better than 2008.

Deep claret color, long legs on bowl. Cherries, a bit of leather, spices leaning towards pepper. Pepper confirmed on front of tongue. Some tannins evident but overall very good finish. Lets just say that this is a heckuva more satisfying than the 2012 vintage Ryder Cup I have been watching. By far.

Washington wine report monthly tasting. Red berry, pepper and dusty/ earthy on the nose with a delicious jammy taste, good texture and some acidity to finish it off. Looking to buy more!

Very dark purple. Aromatic, you can smell it across the room. Lots of blue and black fruit. Definitely WA syrah based. No savory notes but great fruit. Tart cherry with a strong acid backbone. Lighter than expected with some pepper notes. A little empty on the mid.

Very impressive bouquet of cassis, Christmas spices and vanilla. Smooth, soft, full-bodied red with velvety tannins and a good dose of dark black and red fruit. A little hot and dominated by vanilla, but definitely a pleasant wine. Drinking well now.

Acidic and a little rough, with less fruit than previous vintages. Doesn't really seem ready to drink, and I'm not sure that it ever will.
