Tremendous bottle of wine. Shared with old friend LR, who is very much a Syrah fan. Dark fruit and leather and spice. Excellent balance and mouthfeel. What a pleasure to get to drink this wine. Terre Rouge wines are consistently fantastic, in my experience. 3/8/2025

Nose of dark cherries, pomegranate, cranberries, leather, saline, granite, and graphite. This wine manages to be big and bold yet very light on it's feet and has every attribute that I love about Syrah. The wine was ready to go from the PnP. Balanced acidity with a huge mineral streak medium light tannin level but a lot of structure. Palate matches the nose and layers on a nice mild herbalness and ripe blueberries. Finish is a bit thinner than what I was expecting but holds on for 60 seconds. Everything I was expecting from a Bill Easton Syrah is here. Excellent 10/9/2022

Wow, black cherry bomb and tasting really good right now !!
Enjoyed with friends at dinner. Perfect cork, easily removed with the Durant after two decades in the bottle. This balanced wine opened up quickly. Dark red color with no to no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of tart cherry, pomegranate, and rhubarb. Flavors of black cherry cola, raspberry framboise, and leather. This Syrah has a beautifully long finish. A balanced and flavorful Syrah from Shenandoah Valley of Amador County. I think that this age worthy wine has more years of life remaining. Fortunately, I still have one bottle of this vintage to validate my assessment. A great fruit source and another great winemaking effort by Bill Easton. 9/28/2021
