Piranha Waterdance Syrah 2014

9.9

Wow. Immediately sharp and powerful from the first pour. Sizzling and spicy with lots of length. Earthy and rich. Such a lingering joy! My only problem was an over whelming feeling of slowing myself to make it last. Phenomenal!! — a month ago

That's awesome! So what would it take to bring it from 9.9 to a 10? 😀

I haven’t finished the last glass so I am deciding!

Red fruit forward. Powerful but smooth Cabernet Sauvignon. A good example of this type of fruit-driven, overpowering Cabernet Sauvignon for those who like their Cabernet that way. No complexity. — 5 months ago

Touché Eleven Confessions Vineyard Estate Syrah 2012

9.4

2012 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 1.25 hours open. Heavy body. Always too soon/early with these wines, whether white or red. Likely shouldn't be approached or flirted with for another 15 years to properly evaluate. Some chunky bite but mostly über-smooth bark. From what I'm told, they own the copyright for the stunning bottle shape style. 05.30.25. — 3 months ago
