This is drinking absolutely gorgeous right now. Totally in the zone. Black and super dark red berry fruit and dark fresh soil elements swim in a pool of camphor, chewy bitter chocolate, black…
Saturated black and red raspberry, wild blackberry, boysenberry, black cherry, camphor, green olive, railroad tie, earth, cinnamon, and limestone. A little funkified and exhibiting a heavier red…
Following suit with Revas of the past, I was happy to find this was kicking out some nice dark blackberry, deep and ripe black raspberry, wild blueberry, charred oak, fresh layed asphalt, earth,…
Previous notes apply for the most part. Continue to hold another 8-12 months. Core fruit is quality, but still holding a little back. Exhibiting streaks of more red fruit than I usually associate…
Same as last year's notes. Without question, one of the best domestic Syrah producers in the nation. This is fully resolved and ready to be consumed now. No decant necessary, unless you want to…
Similar to my previous notes. A little more higher toned black raspberry liqueur and Amarena Fabbri black cherry notes dominating the palate this time around. This particular bottle threw off a lot…
In no way ready for prime time whatsoever. A total departure from the Reva in almost every way. The Seymour's carries much higher-register red fruit tonalities of red raspberry and pomegranate, with…
Wonderful example of the varietal, with a beautiful texture and silky mouthfeel that is often missed in some overtly mineral and alkaline-driven Viogniers. Purity of fruit is evident, as is the…
Not exactly ready for prime time just yet, but surely showing promise of good things to come. I wouldn't recommend touching another one of these bottles for at least a year. Let it fatten up and fan…
WAIT on this wine! Decanted for over three hours, showing signs of those top shelf Alban flavors of black raspberry, olive, and charred/bbq. However, it's not quite there yet. This 2010 was quite…
PnP with amazing ready-to-go flavors of deep, exotic red, purple, and black berry fruit, black raspberry liqueur, beautiful charred oak and scorched earth, olive tapenade (but not the overly salty…
Same as previous notes. An absolute bottle of bad ass Syrah. Drinking great now with a two hour decant. Superb quality of fruit; outstanding complexity. Consistently one of the best Syrah producers…
PnP with notes of blackberry, ripe raspberry, dark plum, charcoal, and a streak of sweet oak. Initially, this Reva came off as a 93-ish point wine, as it was a bit closed, with the flavors coming out…
Day 1: PnP with high-pitched red fruit; notes of pomegranate, cranberry, unripe plum, black cherry, and sour blackberry. Acidic and surprisingly tart for a 2010 (especially when compared to the 2010…
