Wonderful nose and beautiful finish for this bold and deep Syrah. I have now enjoyed two of the three bottles of Sonoma Coast, but will age the Estate bottles a few years. This wine must breathe a minimum of four hours and just gets better as the evening goes along.

I am still developing a palate for, and honing my appreciation of Syrah. But this was a terrific example of the varietal, in all its full-throttled glory. It was even better the second day, which makes me wonder if I should have decanted. I initially had it with a variety of grilled items, but it worked well with slow-roasted meats too. I plan to leave my remaining bottles alone for a while and see what develops. I am impressed with Stephen Singer's efforts. Many years ago I bought wines from Singer & Foy in the North Beach area of SF; his offerings and advice helped stimulate and feed my curiosity about wine that continues to this day. Thanks - I'm still tasting and learning!

Excellent wine
