The 2016 The Big Easy is fabulous. Rich, powerful and flamboyant to its core the Big Easy hits the palate with tremendous fruit intensity. Super-ripe red cherry, raspberry jam, white chocolate, vanillin and new American oak shape this opulent Syrah/Petite Sirah/ Grenache blend. Winemaker Blair Fox has dialed in a style that captures all the exuberance of past editions, but with more nuance than the Big Easy has ever shown. And I say that as someone who has never loved this wine. The 2016 is simply outrageously delicious. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2018)

Delicious. Big fruit, lots of medium to dark reds. Bit of animal funk in there in a really pleasant undertone, with the oak blending and gluing everything together. It's a nice ride and a lovely sip. Enjoy the 2016 now.

2.9. Purple Syrah blend from Santa Barbara, CA. Too fruity for our taste, and not very complex. A gift from someone.
