What do the experts say?

“

Anna Lee C. Iijima (Wine Enthusiast): "Hints of char, dried porcini and dark chocolate juxtapose concentrated blackberry and cassis in this rich, boldly structured Syrah. It's an intensely juicy sip highlighting ripe, luscious black fruit but balanced freshly too. Lingering earth tones and fine, persistent tannins mark a long finish. Approachable already it's sturdy enough to improve well through 2035. "
