Not much of a nose. Palate is fairly typical amerome showing raisins balanced nicely by black cherry fruit and just enough acidity. Some caramel/burnt sugar notes mix into the velvety finish. Nice wine. Ready to go, drink now.

2017 Dragonette Cellars Syrah John Sebastiano Vineyard

Crazy aromatics leap from the glass like warm blackberry/cherry pie, brined olives, spring flowers, damp earth, fennel, and white pepper spice.
Palate is medium to full bodied with layered red and black fruit that is not excessive or overripe. A distinct savory note enters mid-palate along with lots of minerals. Finish is medium long, silky, with fine grained tannin still poking through and brisk acidity that keeps it feeling fresh.
Overall, excellent cool-climate syrah that is reminiscent of northern Rhone. In a good spot now, but no rush. Drink 2024-2026.

Tropical fruit, herbs, still decent acidity. This bottle was not quite as good as the previous one as it lost some of that vibrant fruit.
