"Deep bright-hued magenta. Mineral-accented blackberry, cherry, olive paste and violet aromas pick up mineral and smoked meat flourishes as the wine opens up. Shows very good energy on the palate, offering sappy, spice-tinged black and blue fruit flavors and hints of floral pastilles, licorice and cracked pepper. The floral note carries through a youthfully chewy and persistent finish, which leaves a vibrant mineral note behind." -Josh Raynolds

"Crushed granite, smoke and bramble introduce penetrating black-cherry and plum flavors in this piercing Syrah. It's a powerful, firmly structured wine edged by strikes of zesty acidity and persistent but chalky tannins. Aromatic intensity and complexity should improve with time. Hold till 2022 at least." -Anna Lee C. Iijima
