TASTING NOTES:
2014 - “This bottling from Syrah legend Bob Lindquist, sourced from the biodynamic vineyard that he planted, delivers snappy boysenberry, white pepper, rosemary and lavender aromas. The palate judiciously balances savory, peppery spice and lush purple floral notes with tangy black plum fruit and rosehip accents, making for a wondrous sip.” 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast (AbV 13.5%)

2015 - “This classic Syrah has black cherry, a light touch of oak and vanilla, and roasted meat aromas. The cool climate means the acidity is lip smacking.” (AbV 13.5%)

BARRELS:
2014 - 22 months in both Ermitage and Francois Freres French oak barrels of which 30% were new oak.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
The first successful 3D massively multiplayer game, EverQuest was released in 1999 by Sony Online Entertainment. It is a fantasy-themed world a la Dungeons and Dragons where the player created an avatar, selected one of twelve different races, and one of fourteen different classes. Notice I said “is.” Despite dwindling number across what has now been decades, servers still exist and a whopping twenty-six expansion packs with over 500 zones are in the game.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
Pork dishes, particularly roast pork loin with spicy apple chutney.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Windows 95, at the least.
