I will probably start drinking mine this year. Thanks for the note.

Just had the 2010 this week. Very nice. Thank you for the note, I’ll plan on pulling a 2012 for cue. Love Papa’s Block!

Had an 06 Russian River Valley Syrah on Thursday night. Big and bold and almost impenetrable. If you have them, I would either hold or decant for a very very long time.

FWIW, I’ve REALLY enjoyed the ‘07 RRV Syrah over the last 10 years. It never disappoints. I’m down to my last bottle…sad.
