Had this wine with my 80 something parents; barbequed steak, and sauteed vegetables. We enjoyed it! Mineral nose, fruit finish. Aired for 3 hours at room temperature. Drinks well now. Paired well with the steak. Parents are still vertical (cocktail hour preceded).

A delicious syrah! We had tbe 2013 Kenefick Syrah two nights ago - with family during a power outage. This bottle has more bite, closer to a cabernet. Slight wood and acid finish with balanced fruit. Consumed with a spaghetti marinara sauce. A perfect wine when you want something a little sweeter than a cabernet, but full body.

Decanted for about 90 minutes. Drank over 2.5 hours.
Nice gamey notes on this wine; iron and dark fruits. A note of black olive became present about an hour into enjoying this.
Also had a 2012 Sonkin Unmasked open, which was my slight preference (although my better half preferred the Quivet).
I imagine some further cellaring will be rewarded here.

Maybe in a bad spot, but seemed a bit flabby to me. Delicious flavors, but nothing to make it sharp. If scoring 89-91.

This was a really lovely Syrah. Great fruits and herbal notes. Bacon and olive hints are present but not overwhelming. Perfectly balanced.
