Plush fruit, but harnessed and slightly muted overall. A cool feeling to it, with purple-black fruit and not much perception of heat. Round on the back end, but with a finish that maintains focus and…
This bottle was a shy guy and completely muted on the nose throughout consumption. Boysenberry, blackberry, and some meaty olive notes lurk within an otherwise texturally superior Syrah.
Both the White Hawk and the mighty Z Syrahs from Aberro (Kinsman) are stellar performers. Whereas the Bien Nacido Z was most defined by a sheeny and silky bubble encompassing the core berry fruit,…
Super meaty, rich, and perfectly balanced. Silky smooth and a gushing mouthful of a wine, with plush cassis, blackberry pie, sanguine, salami, and ripe raspberry notes, this vintage of Mourvèdre is a…

Blackberry cobbler, spicy black cherry, garrigue, and wild licorice dominate this fascinating Mourvèdre specimen. Rich and full bodied, but also (after extended air time) developed an enhanced silky…

From magnum. Quince, lemon peel, lemon seed, and white rock. Fairly bitter and linear, this wine never fully came around for me, even with hours in the decanter. It was good, but missing some of the…
