Just might have to be in on this one.

Hey Wooters, Jim Morris here from Humanitas Winery. Actually, I am standing in while Judd Wallenbrock makes his way home to jump on board. I am here to answer any questions you may have and convince you to buy copious amounts of this stunning wine.

Talk to me people, what do you want to know? I am here for you.

Well gee whiz... I thought I might be first sucker, but I don't even get a little shade of pink on Minnesota? First buy of the day just because it's the end of the day, we've had 3" of rain in the last two hours and I have been biding my time with the .off! The charity got to me and I'm happy to contribute. Let the cream continue to rise to the top.

RJ,

I have to say, this may be one of the better buys you will find on Wine.Woot! We actually hate to see the end of this wine because it is drinking so good right now. Rich glorious Syrah. Do it.

Hey Jim, just jumped in with a buy... tell me what delights are coming my way!

Soggy in Minnesota.

I picked this up on July 6th, and recently drank the first bottle. Extremely good, thrilled to see it reappear so soon. I didn't keep any tasting notes, but it was big, velvety and just plain good. Just huge for this price. I don't have room for more after two previous woots today, but I am buying some anyway. If you like Syrah, jump on this one!

Didn't you say during the previous offer that this would not be available during a Woot-off?

Done did, in for two.

Just bought 2! What is the drinking window on these? Can they stand some cellaring?

Nice to see the two positive reviews are both from Wooters. I'm drinking a bottle right now, and this Syrah has some serious depth to it. It's got an interesting balance between an initial hit of fruit followed up by a strong spicy, tar, lead finish that lasts and lasts. Scoring this a 90 and a great value at $15/bottle.

Don't be expecting an Australian Shiraz fruit bomb with this one. This guy is a bit of a beast, I'm probably going in for one or two more.

Talk to me people, what do you want to know? I am here for you.

Thanks for taking the time to join us Jim... based on the CT reviews and your plug, I'm in for two... almost bought three based on the descriptions. Can you fill us in on the cooperage? Thx

Thanks so much Kenny. You just made our day. If you dont have room for your two other Woots, by all means, send them to us for safe-keeping.

In for two as I need a good Syrah right now, I'm currently watching Gang of Thrones, I'm always down to get drunk for charity, and I'll buy almost anything that throws out some Firefly love...

Cynthy,

You will simply love this wine. I find tasting it is akin to drinking a red velvet theater curtain--rich smoky and a tad mysterious.

Let me dip into the big book of wine adjectives to find other great descriptions for this magnificent wine.

Gang of Thrones? Hmm... are you sure you aren't already drunk for charity?

What is the drinking window on these (please)?

redwinefan wrote:Gang of Thrones? Hmm... are you sure you aren't already drunk for charity?

I'm always drunk.


...for charity. Of course. Charity.

Oh lord, this just made me click the big yellow button:

This is the best Syrah I have ever had. Nose is filled with wonderful berries and some smoke. The flavor explodes with the same berries and smoke as in the nose with a bit of mineral or lead pencil note. I love this wine.

So if we buy this wine, we get a tax write-off, no? ;)

As a general rule, I tend to avoid drinking tapestries, but all the descriptions are certainly making my mouth water...

bcudone wrote:What is the drinking window on these (please)?

Not from the winery, but this is drinking great now and I suspect will be fine for the next 3 years at least.

Sold! In for three. I haven't found a killer deal on Syrah for a long time, and I'm hoping I bet right.

Cheers!

Hello Gnomage,

Thank you for your contribution. These wines will hold up nicely for the next 5-7 years but we always say, why wait? We suggest buying 1 for this week, 1 for next week, 1 for the following week, and so on.

You will LUV this wine.

Worth breaking a SIWBM for? Granted it just started today...

There is a reason you are a redwinefan--you enjoy beautifully made wines like this. Thank you for enjoying this gorgeous wine and making nice comments about it. You're not my brother are you? I am also enjoying a fine glass of it at this moment. I love the adult beverage business. I get paid to do this.

Jumped! Still lurking around for some *oaked* chardonnay but love Syrah so couldn't resist.

Thanks for quoting my CT note! I do love this Syrah and bought 6 more.

aka BlackIce on CT.

Quick!!!

Im new to wine drinking.... (What can I say I;m a young guy),, but would you all recommend this for a newbie??

After you enjoy this wine, you may change your name to deepdeliciouspurpleday. This is a fantastic wine to enjoy while listening to Firefly or watching Gang of Thrones.

Rock on my friend.

If I was your brother you probably wouldn't have any of this wine left to sell on Woot since I'd have cleaned your cellar out at the last family get together so count yourself lucky.

Yes - truth in advertising!

I thought this vintage was supposed to be completely gone after it's previous WW appearance...but perhaps that changed. I purchased the 3 pack last time, but it got corked during shipping. Got a replacement (thank goodness), but just received it, so haven't had a chance to try it yet. Still so tempted to jump on this...

jakesaturn wrote:Quick!!!

We're relatively new as well. Here's my theory... if it's averaging over 90 pts on CT, it's an auto-buy!

Also, the problem is that once you start drinking good ones all the $5 swill you used to think was a good deal at the supermarket... let's just say your mouth will start to realize why it's $5.

Welcome to the "I'm on a SIWBM, oh, well this one looks so good, I can afford just one more..." club!

Hi Jake,

Here is what I suggest...this is an amazing wine to enjoy with grilled meats. You should invite your best friend over to the house, fire up the grill (pork ribs or bone-in ribeye), and open a bottle or two of this beauty. Guaranteed best meal of the week. Really.
