Cos d'Estournel
Beautiful bouquet, complicated with earth tones, silky spices, coffee and chocolate. On the palate; structured, balanced with plenty of fruit for a firm tannic backbone, tons of cassis, cherry pit and some black figs with a long finish. Can last another 5-10 years possibly.

Leaf + Twig - Cabernet Sauvignon
Thick red inky color, cherry-pomegranite cognacy bouquet, Soft and sweet, well balanced tannins with plenty of fruit. Vinuous earthy and loads of mixed berries...cherry, raspberry, blackberry..some apple and pear mixed in. Good long finish...at least 30 seconds. Can last at least 10 years.

Radio-Coteau - Syrah Timbervine
Soft earth and mineral undertones bouquet, red fruit, mostly raspberry and white cherry. Soft and luscious raspberry with some licorice and subtle spice on the palate with a medium to long finish. Tannins are well rounded but give way to some slightly stronger than expected alcohol. A refined Syrah compared to most.

Ojai - Syrah Thompson Vineyard
Thick turbulent looking wine, minty, cherry, raspberry, alcoholic nose. On the palate, over penetrating tannins, austere, fruit very overpowered but subtle cherry pit, and tannins that outlast any kind of finish. May benefit from more cellar time, but not sure there is enough fruit for this.

Turley (Hospices du Rhone) - Roussanne Alban Vineyard
Pure milk and honey with vanilla added. Minimal acidity. This is a dessert all by itself! Won't last too long.
