  I think this is the 3rd time having this wine. Still incredibly fresh, with notes of blueberry, but also sweet orange rind. Palate is expressive juicy syrah with bright acidity. This is one of Travis's best wines imho.

  Double decant. Really pretty deep ruby plumb color. Mineral and violets on the nose. Super concentrated blue and black fruits. Mouth watering acidity. Drying tannins. A slight bloody component. Very long finish. A big wine! Some awkward edges right now but the wife and I both really enjoyed it.

  Bright, lively, cool blue fruit. Notes of olive, game, with a mineral note on the finish. Excellent acidty and balance. Super tasty altho will age the other bottle for a while. If blinded there is no way you can guess WA syrah.

  Lots of blue fruit, definitely did not live up to the hype. Not with the $75. This was a well made wine but didn’t ring my bell as anything special. Definitely can do better especially for the money

  This is really lively but oh so young. Some nice pure dark fruit, all tightly packaged on a nice bed of tannin. This is pleasant right now. Not too closed to see what is underneath. I really enjoyed this. But boy I am curious to visit this again in 3 5 and even 10 years.
  
  On day 2 this now even better. There is a purity to the smokiness on the nose. Hints of violets. There is an elegance to this wine that reminds of the Delmas 2014 I had the other night. And some nice pure fruit also. As mye said, yummy. I am upping my score from 92 to 94.
