Beautiful Syrah from Spring Mountain, savoury aromas and flavors, very French-like if served blind, still has lots of primary redfruits showing, tannins have largely receded, from a partially-shaded 5-acre portion at the bottom of the Paloma vineyard, long finish, I believe the Syrah vines were planted in 1992 and pulled out after the 2001/2002(?) vintage, Barbara and Jim Richards said the farming was more difficult than the Merlot (and smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon) that Paloma is known for and thus they elected to replant (graft? Not sure) more of the other varieties into that plot. While the first vintage of the Syrah (1995) was never commercially released (12 cases produced from 3 year old vines), Jim was kind enough to send me home with 4 bottles, that wine was the best Syrah to EVER come off that vineyard, I was forever in his debt, it was AMAZING. I miss Barbara and Jim, some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in the wine business (I’m NOT in the business myself)!! — 9 months ago

Vintage 2018 | what a difference a day makes… the weather… the food… the company… perhaps this is my last bottle, thought I needed to drink up… but today paired with a mussel potato salad this wine is vibrant… smell of lychees, citrus and some vanilla. Tastes well, juicy. So happy… my wife and I drank the bottle -except a glass that went with the mussels - all at once. — 9 months ago

Classic label. Color of spun gold. Smells like honey and lemons. Hint of wax. Flavors are funky. Lemon curd and herbal tonic. Hint of mineral water. Fuller than expected. Body is nice. This has a lot going on. — 3 months ago

Lemon and white flowers on the nose, a rich body with mild acid and honey sweetness. "This is a really good one.' Bob, connoisseur of Liebfraumilch. — 3 years ago

Perfectly refreshing. The slightest tingle of bubbles and not too dry, with fruity undertones. — 4 years ago
